‘Blade Runner 2049’ Producers Sue “Problematic” Elon Musk & Warner Bros. Discovery Over “Highly Offensive” AI Imagery Used In Tesla Pitch
Tesla CEO Elon Musk & his pal David Zaslav's WBD are being hauled into court for copyright infringement by Blade Runner 2049 producers
Pissed off that their denial of use of imagery from the Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling starring sequel in Musk’s October 10 live streamed Cybercab presentation on the WBD lot was ignored, Alcon are suing the X boss and the Zas-running media giant for copyright infringement. “This was clearly all a bad faith and intentionally malicious gambit by Defendants to make the otherwise stilted and stiff content of the joint WBDI-Tesla event more attractive to the global audience and to misappropriate BR2049’ s brand to help sell Teslas,” says the jury trial seeking complaint filed today in federal court. Adding to Tesla and WBD’s refusal to abide by the very clear “No” that Alcon say they gave the parties on that association with the South African billionaire and hardcore Donald Trump supporter has “muddied the waters’ for the upcoming Amazon Prime Video BR2049-based Blade Runner 2099 television series.
