Did Elon Musk rip off "I Robot" designs for his Optimus and Robotaxi products? We might suggest that he's not even trying to hide it. Folks on social media called out Musk for the similarities between the humanoid robot and NS5 design in the 2004 movie, as well as the Robotax and Audi RSQ, but it wasn't much of a gotcha, since the Tesla boss titled his Cybercab Robotaxi presentation "We Robot." Proyas, who directed "I Robot" wrote on X, "Hey Elon, can I have my designs back please?" while Matt Granger, who worked as Proyas's assistant on the movie, posted, "I too wish to offer my full-fingered 'f*** you' to Elon and his utter lack of creativity."
