Hey that is not stealing that is called eliminating the competition by producing a cheaper version.
But I think once a car is mass produced then replicas are fair game unless their are trademarks and that kind of stuff but I am not that familiar with.

Nope, it's illegal to reproduce in that manner, all cars except for limited reasons, you can't copy to the degree they do.

True but they are not subject to our laws. And as for this Facebook controversy. I always wondered how they handled working with China given China famously practices censorship. I am guessing that is what he had to do to have a platform with them? I wonder what he did for the other countries that also practice? No facebook? Plus given their population size..that’s a lot of money to turn down to say no to censorship.

actively helping to advance Chinas AI over the US would be considered treason for me
Facebook would have been confiscated, dismantled, and parted out at auction, and fined heavily by me.
Top execs jailed.
Good thing I'm not pres,

Or he could have created a platform for them to use like that TikTok did. This way they can do whatever they hell they like and he can walk away with the money. But oh well..greed gets you everytime.

I think most car companies starting out do a lot of copying of other car companies designs and then gradually learn from them and then eventually are able to produce their own design themselves.

[Lil Lola]

Well actually I think former employees start new car companies and that is why there are similarities

Do your research China produces replicas, not their version.
They are the number one thieves of intellectual property in the world.
That's what they are referring to in games, they always say China number one
