    .@elonmusk + Tesla copied an artist's cartoon, used it to promote a new feature, and integrated the drawing into cars' operating system. When asked about lack of credit or compensation, Musk said the artist should be grateful for "attention"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jun/27/elon-musk-farting-unicorn-mug-cartoon-tom-edwards …

        @Elonmusk will get "attention" when the infringed artist or the art's owner sues him! He can just ask Associated Press about the plagiarism of an AP photo by the "inventor" of the Obama logo/drawing.

        Actually, the artist should be grateful for copyright law. On the face of it that looks like some phat damages. Also, Elon’s comment won’t play well in front of a jury should it get that far.

        supposing he can afford to outlast Tesla in a lawsuit, which is unlikely.

        Grateful 4 the attention. Mr. Musk I have friends who are storm chasers. You can’t use their videos without their permission. Why because it’s their livelihood. How they put food on the table. Mr. Musk With your thinking actors would want to work just 4 the attention @akaWorf

        It's one thing for a ignorant average Joe to try to pull a "exposure" tactic, but when you're a billionaire who owns his own business- you should know better. Pay the artist or I hope there's a court case to force you to pay them.

        Thing is, Musk knows he can afford better lawyers than anyone wanting to bring such a case. He also knows it will be prohibitively expensive for the artist to even try. So he wins by default. Which is balls.
