Farting unicorn row: artist reaches settlement with Elon Musk

Tom Edwards from Colorado, who challenged Musk's use of motif without attribution, reaches agreement with Tesla tycoon

A Colorado artist says he has reached a settlement with Elon Musk after challenging the Tesla tycoon's use of a farting unicorn motif that he had drawn as an ironic tribute to electric cars.

Musk used the cartoon image on Twitter, without attribution, to promote his Tesla electric car range, and ignored Tom Edwards' attempts to come to a licensing arrangement, telling the artist's daughter it would be "kinda lame" to sue.
