Alcon Entertainment has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk’s Tesla for copyright infringement, alleging that Tesla used images from the 2017 film 'Blade Runner 2049' without permission to create visuals for its Cybercab event. The lawsuit, submitted in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, claims that Alcon refused to grant permission due to concerns over Musk’s controversial public persona. After this refusal, it is alleged that Tesla used AI image generators to create similar imagery. Alcon also emphasized that Musk's discussion of 'Blade Runner' during the event further complicates their brand's affiliation with Tesla, which they argue can harm their future projects. Alcon is seeking unspecified damages, asserting that the unauthorized use of their copyrighted materials could jeopardize ongoing negotiations and potential ventures related to 'Blade Runner'.
