Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk may have copied the Tesla Optimus robot design. It strongly resembles the famous android, Sunny.

Director Alex Proyas, who made the film “I, Robot,” called Musk out. He posted directly on Musk’s social media, saying, “Hey Elon, can I have my design back please?”

The robotaxi model and “Robovan” minibus shown at a recent Tesla event also sparked questions. They reminded Proyas and fans of sci-fi movie sets.
Musk has not responded yet. Interestingly, Optimus resemblance isn’t the only issue. Variety reports that Musk may have used human operators instead of AI during the presentation. Robots serving drinks were supposedly remote-controlled by Tesla employees.
