Alan Tudyk as Sunny the Robot in I, Robot custom image

The I, Robot director is not happy about Tesla's latest announcements. Starring Will Smith, the 2001 hit featured intelligent robot servants rising up against humanity. While I, Robot 2 was never confirmed, the movie was a box office success. It earned over $350 million on a $120 million budget. Its designs also became a massive part of its enduring legacy, as the inventive and eerie appearance of its robots were stunning.

Proyas compared the Optimus, the Robovan, and the Robotaxi to his original designs. Optimus is similar, but the Robovan and the Robotaxi are near-identical. Proyas did not directly tag Tesla CEO Elon Musk, but he did ask to have his"designs back". Tesla is not going to want to see more controversy from these announcements. The company's stock dropped nearly 10% after the initial announcement, representing billions in losses. It may recover over the next week, but the lackluster announcement could spark a decline for Tesla. While Elon Musk was not Tesla's founder, he is the public face of the company.
