The big brain move was to ask them first, thereby proving you wanted to use their IP.
If he had just faked it anyway without asking he might have got away with it.
Genius strategist.

Reminds me of Google's thing with the Gemini name.
Google decides to use the Gemini name for their AI stuff either knowing other company has patent or whatever on that name when it comes to AI or just doing it anyway. Google asks Patent Office to give them the name, they are told no. Then some "mysterious third party" tries to buy out the other company. They figure it is Google trying to circumvent the patent, they stop contact and just sue Google.
I'm not sure if they decided on the name, saw it was taken and were like "yeah but we like the name so it'll be fine" or if they're genuinely stupid enough to first decide on the name and then they realize that oh shit
What's great about lawsuits like this is you really only have to prove intent and they have a record of them asking for similar imagery.
I hate this guy so much. Hope he gets run over by one of his shitty trucks in full self/driving mode. Best part is that they turn off FSD right before impact to absolve blame. Oh, poor guy got smooshed, but FSD wasn’t to blame.
Like the Segway guy who died by riding his Segway off a cliff
Was the Segway guy as shitty as musk?
The cliff thought as much. Why else would it yeet him like that?!
(Doesn't sound like he was because he also held patents for an insulin pump & a wheelchair that could climb stairs so his mind was definitely working towards solving real world problems & not just reinventing public transport)
the guy who invented the segway is still alive. The guy who bought his company later drove off a cliff, though it is suspected he had a heart attack while driving
See I suspect he had the heart attack while falling off the cliff.
Musk shittiness is a high bar.
Best we can hope for is an overdose
Once again the ownership class pirates freely while disparaging the common folk for violating copyright.
It's almost if it's not a real law, rather something by which to disparage the proletariat.
Lolol fucking awesome
