Elon Musk refuses to credit Nier fan artist, throws a huge tantrum

His factories are filled to the brim with safety violations
Inside Tesla’s Model 3 Factory, Where Safety Violations Keep Rising
As Tesla announces a more affordable model, its Fremont, California factory workforce had already felt heavy pressure to produce enough cars. And the strains showed: safety regulators have assessed more fines at the plant other large U.S. automotive plants, a Forbes review finds.www.forbes.com
Thanks for the link
As an owner of Tesla Model 3, Elon is a complete fucksticks. Dude needs to get booted from Twitter.
I mean, pretty much every single fan art thread here has everyone sourcing the art they post, and if they don't they're usually called out for it.
Gifs are an entirely different ballgame when it comes to sourcing, but at this point I figure most people who make them want them to be shared off-the-cuff. I know personally I've made a couple gifs in the past and didn't care one iota that they got shared around. If I wanted credit to go to me, I'd watermark it.
I understand not always knowing or remembering to immediately credit the artist, but telling people off after they request it is a bit bullshit. It's what you expect from children, not a grown "mature" man.
Artist and art communities always react this way no matter what because a lot of internet artist live off their commission work, so if someone is reposting your art without proper credit that hurts your income as potential customers won't know where to find you, and believe me, there is a ton of people who live off internet commissions.
This.
It goes far beyond some "oh everyone posts images without credit", this is a dude with a wide engagement range.
Musk designing Tesla factories around aesthetics instead of safety and practicality is classic Bond Villain 101.His factories are filled to the brim with safety violations

Yes it does. By definition, if the actions aren't the same (morally or otherwise), it's not hypocrisy. In this case, it's just you grasping at straws to make a shitty ad-hominem, as if that somehow justified Musk.
Ironically him having the tantrum has likely drawn more eyes to he artwork and will boost his commission potential so....good news?
Not that much, because hilariously it retroactively can be seen as a negative
The character that said that line turned out to be an evil bastard from an alternate dimension where humanity became a fascist empire bent on universal domination and the subjugation of all other races. The guy who praised Elon Musk was from evil facist earth. Think about that.
Yeah he's just an arrogant dickhole. But this kind of thing should happen anytime people do this (assuming the artist is living off commissions). Also how does that work? I guess people will pay to post or use the art? I make art but never considered living off of it.
Basically, most people operate in one of 2 common methods:
1)direct commission work in which people pay you directly to draw something specific of their desire and the implicit license to that work they paid you to produce.
2)A patreon, where people donate to you for keeping doing your art with some tiers getting a say on what you draw.
People sometimes also do things like YCH (your character here) auctions in which they show a base sketch and it's auctioned to turn the sketch into the winner's character or subject of choice, or adoptables, which basically are the artist excersicing random character design and then selling the rights to the character to whoever wishes to buy them.
I'd love to see his name taken off all the patents he will be involved with, or having the record of his shares wiped.
Unless this artist try to pass as 2B as her own creation the talk about she should credit the original artist of 2B is non-sense. Just my two cents. In fact, she couldn't know who was the original artist, but still recognize 2B (from Nier) was a inspiration to make a tribute.

I didn't make this subject, the fact that Elon is the face of it is irrelevant. Nice meme tho, what's the source?Someone posted it earlier in the thread but I feel this image continues to be apt, so once more, with feeling
Nailed it. Artists, you should be watermarking all of your work just like memers do on insta/reddit. Common sense in 2019.
The guy seriously acts like a whiny self-important 13-year old on any message board.
Now I'm picturing a dog gnawing on a pencil.
I saw a tweet the other day to the effect of Musk running Tesla like it's the Gizmonics Institute, and I have 0 doubt that if SpaceX weren't under fairly heavy government regulation they would be trying to set up the Satellite of Love right now
I knew it wouldn't last but it still amazes me he acts like the kids I saw on Sonic fan forums back in the day who said they were quitting the internet because someone criticised their OC only to come back 5 days later. If anything, Musk seems to have less integrity.
it does make me realize all some people need to rise to the top is a base level of privilege and to exude confidence though.
Musk is a prick and a textbook example of a guy who is incredibly book smart and dumber than a bag of rocks in every other department.
Honestly I have my qualms at considering him particularly book smart considering how much of his work is just re-inventing the wheel
Confidence, privilege, zero issues exploiting the fuck out of other human beings for personal gain. Don't need anything else to make it in this world.
The only reason no one internally would try to protest the idea is because they don't want Musk to pick them as the test subject.
It's reasonable to be frustrated when someone else takes/spreads your work without any credit to you. It's a sore spot within the artist community in particular because there are so many parasite accounts that deliberately use other people's content as their own.
And given this, when someone noteworthy goes out of their way to petulantly refuse to give any credit and insist that no artists should be credited, people are right to call out that kind of shit-bird. It doesn't help when there are clear parallels to that figure's own parasitic relationship with workers/engineers.
