Tesla CEO Elon Musk shared a picture on X referencing the famous inventor that he owes the name of his company to, Nikola Tesla.
The post, which intended to highlight Tesla’s tenacity and contributions as a poor immigrant whose innovations helped revolutionize America’s technology, ended up causing an unexpected reaction due to the photo he used to represent the scientist.
Instead of using a historical image, Musk instead opted to use a poster of the 2017 movie The Current War, in which actor Nicholas Hoult portrays the Tesla as he gets taken advantage of by Thomas Edison in his competition against George Westinghouse.
