Elon Musk, sued by the producers of 'Blade Runner 2049,' had a three-word response to the litigation: 'That movie sucked'

When Elon Musk introduced Tesla's robotaxi, the Cybercab, earlier this month, he showed a slide during his presentation that probably looked familiar to Blade Runner 2049 fans. It featured the back of a person wearing a trench coat against a desert-like landscape with high-rise buildings in the background.

A production company for Blade Runner 2049 is suing Tesla and CEO Elon Musk, as well as Warner Bros. Discovery, alleging they used scenes from the film without permission to generate promotional materials for the launch of Tesla’s self-driving robotaxi.
