"Musk used the cartoon image on Twitter, without attribution, to promote his Tesla electric car range, and ignored Tom Edwards’ attempts to come to a licensing arrangement, telling the artist’s daughter it would be 'kinda lame' to sue," The Guardian reports.Sales of the mug spiked in February 2017 when Musk tweeted a photo of one, describing it as “maybe my favourite mug ever”. The following month, however, he tweeted an even more crudely drawn copy of the image to promote Tesla’s new “sketch pad” feature. It subsequently appeared as an icon on the vehicles’ operating system, and in a Christmas holiday message to his customers....I guess Musk assumed he was helping the artist by promoting his work, but the continued use of the image should have been cleared with the artist.
I think it's funny that Tesla liked the image, because it seems to me like critique of electric cars. There are no unicorns, and even if they were, it would be hard to get them to fart directly into a car. It's already hard to find places along your route where you can charge your electric car, and the unicorn method — even if unicorns existed and had farts that could power a car — you'd have a hell of a time finding them when you needed them and getting them to fart in the general direction of your... well, wouldn't farts go in a gas tank? I'm seeing critique of electric cars... on so many levels.
