I don’t see the connection. The Elonbot is about as generic a humanoid robot design can be and the I, Robot one looks cool, has a face, and isn’t controlled by a human as part of some sort of investment con.
The self driving cars has no connection either. The Elonmobile looks like a smooth car and has a degree of autonomous driving and the I, Robot cars look cool, can drive up vertical surfaces, and hardly ever kills their occupants.
It’s because he called the event ‘We, Robot’. So it’s fairly obvious that he wants to draw parallels between Tesla’s humanoids and the robots within the movie.
Yeah, they look nothing alike side by side.
