Controversy sparks as Elon Musk unveils his new robot designs in the U.S. last week. Alex Proyas, the director of the film I, Robot, has accused Musk of stealing concepts from the movie for his cutting-edge creations. Are Musk's robots truly inspired by Hollywood, or is it just a coincidence? Find out more about this dramatic claim!

Many of you may have watched the 2004 film I, Robot. Set in 2035, the movie follows a detective played by Will Smith, who suspects that a robot might be responsible for a murder.

The film was widely appreciated by viewers.

Recently, this movie has resurfaced in discussions, and the reason is none other than Elon Musk.

Last week, during an event called We, Robot, Musk introduced several futuristic products, including the driverless taxi Cybercab, the Robovan that can carry 20 people, and the Optimus service robot.

Following Musk's presentation, social media users pointed out a striking detail—Musk's robots seem to resemble the designs from I, Robot.

This similarity also caught the attention of the film's director, Alex Proyas, who took to X to call out Elon Musk.

What do you think about Elon Musk's designs? Do you believe they were copied from the film, or was he simply inspired by it?
