Oh man, I so want him to fight this. This would be a money pit like hell. I would love to see Musk watch hundreds of millions of his own money burn in litigation. We should seriously put his ego on the line with this trail. I feel like posting on Twitter:

Don't let that production studio treat you like a bitch, fight these fuckers!!

Tying up his ego into this legal fight would be amazing because that fucker has zero idea about sunk costs.

Did he forget fan art is still copyright infringement?

“Any prudent brand considering any Tesla partnership has to take Musk’s massively amplified, highly politicized, capricious and arbitrary behavior, which sometimes veers into hate speech, into account,” Alcon’s suit explains. “Alcon did not want BR2049 to be affiliated with Musk, Tesla, or any Musk company, for all of these reasons.”

Rare copyright holder W.

Clearly Tesla's ISP need to disable their Internet connection.
