The cartoon published March 23, 2025, shows Nikola Tesla disavowing any link to Elon Musk or the Tesla company. The inventor points to Musk standing by a Cybertruck while declaring the boy is not wired proper.
Nikola Tesla looms large on the right side of the frame with a dismissive expression. He points toward a diminutive Elon Musk who stands beside a silver Cybertruck with one arm raised.
A large speech bubble from Tesla states he has nothing to do with any of this. A second bubble adds that the boy ain't wired proper, with the word wired highlighted in red.
The red Tesla logo appears near the truck. Musk's frustrated posture and the vehicle placement underscore the separation drawn between the historical inventor and the current company.
