Elon Musk’s lawyers plan to ask the court to drop a case against him and his company. The case claims that Musk, who leads Tesla, used AI-created images that violate copyright and look like “Blade Runner” at a Tesla press event.

The filing shows that both Musk and Tesla are named as defendants in the suit. The filing was filed to the U.S. District Court Central District of California, Western Division late Tuesday, whereby attorneys for Musk said that both Musk and Tesla will move to dismiss all claims for relief with prejudice.

“With prejudice” means that a case is dropped forever and can’t be brought back to court. On the other hand, the filing shows that the plaintiff in the suit, Alcon Entertainment, intends to oppose the motion.

Where it all began

In October 2024, Alcon, the company that made the 2017 movie Blade Runner 2049, sued Musk, Tesla, and Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). They said that Musk and the others intentionally ignored their intellectual property rights.

Alcon’s lawsuit says that Musk and WBD requested to use images from “Blade Runner 2049” to promote Tesla’s new concept cars. This was just hours before the cars were revealed on a Warner studio lot. 

When Alcon refused to give the rights through WBD, the lawsuit claims that Tesla, following Musk’s orders, got that footage to recreate it using an AI model. Musk displayed what he claimed were fake “Blade Runner” images during the event while discussing the movie.

In addition, Alcon says in its lawsuit that it was never informed about any agreements between Tesla and WBD that were needed before Tesla’s press conference. The production company wants to stop Tesla from using certain promotional materials and is also seeking damages. 

The original complaint filed by Alcon’s legal team reads:

 Based on past actual brand affiliation contracts for automotive partners on BR2049 [BladeRunner 2049], Tesla likely would have had to make significant expenditures at least in the mid-six-figures (at least $500,000) and possibly into the eight figures ($10 million or more) to obtain a BR2049 brand affiliation with Tesla and the [company’s] cybercab [robotaxi] at market value, if Alcon had even been willing to do it at all […] The copyright infringements here facilitated allowing Tesla to save this expenditure.

Alcon

Musk, who is now part of the US administration, seems to have confidence that the law will work in his favor. People have expressed their disappointment, calling it a worrying pattern.  They say that if this is not addressed well the creatives will continue to be taken advantage of. However, at the end of the day, it is up to the judge to decide.

Tesla paid Robotaxis to start in June 

Elon Musk promised investors at a year-end results call that the company will launch a fully autonomous ride-hailing service in Austin, Texas, by the middle of this year. He made a statement, “We’re going to be launching unsupervised Full Self-Driving as a paid service in Austin in June.” 

For their first robotaxis, they will use Model 3 and Model Y cars instead of the Cybercab. However, it won’t start production until at least 2026. 

Musk said, “Our solution is a generalized AI solution […] It doesn’t require high-precision maps of a locality, so we just want to be cautious.”

Tesla cars have been working on their own at the factory in Fremont, California. They have announced that this will soon happen at the Austin plant and other locations worldwide. The company also plans to extend its robotaxi service to more places in the U.S. by the end of the year.

Musk is rooting on the robotaxis to make Tesla worth more than $15 trillion. This could exceed the total value of Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Amazon. This would mean a rise of about 10 times its current value.

He argues that self-driving cars could work 50-55 hours a week, while regular cars usually drive for only 10 hours a week.

The electric car company sold 1.79 million vehicles in 2024, which is less than the 1.81 million sold in 2023. Investors seem to care more about CEO Elon Musk’s bold predictions and the company’s future projects.

Meanwhile, Tesla’s stock started with an upward trajectory in February 2025, trading at $392.21 per share with a market capitalization of $1.3 trillion. However, it has recorded a decline of 10% in the last 24 hours.

Massive transactions worth millions of dollars are being initiated by Shiba Inu whales, who have returned to action. According to new on-chain statistics, Shiba Inu whales transferred an unprecedented 15.1 trillion SHIB tokens in a single day. The market for SHIB has fallen to new lows, coinciding with this massive move. We can't help but wonder whether these massive investors are getting ready for a possible SHIB price jump, given the recent uptick in whale activity.

Massive 15 trillion SHIB Transfer by Shiba Inu Whales

Big SHIB holders, or "Shiba Inu whales" according to IntoTheBlock's statistics, have done it again with another huge transaction. Whales in the Shiba Inu community have been busy as of late, trading a whopping 15.1 trillion SHIB tokens—worth around $253.05 million—in only one day.

Since the actions of whales often affect market sentiment and price trajectories, this massive SHIB transaction has piqued the interest of the market. A staggering 4.3 trillion SHIB tokens, worth $66.22 million, were transferred by Shiba Inu Whales on February 2. After transacting 1.5 trillion SHIB on February 1, this transaction represented a substantial rise of almost 2.8 trillion SHIB.

But now it seems like the Shiba Inu whales' activity has gone up a notch. The latest 15.1 trillion SHIB transfer by these large-scale token holders represents an astounding rise of 10.8 trillion from the 4.3 trillion SHIB transfer the day before.

Curiously, this uptick in whale sales coincides with a major market drop. In the wake of US President Trump's trade war with China, Mexico, and Canada, the cryptocurrency market has seen a descent. Significant market participants like Bitcoin and Ethereum have had precipitous declines, with BTC trading below $100,000 and ETH below $3,000.

The market instability also harmed Shiba Inu and other cryptocurrencies. According to statistics compiled by CoinMarketCap, the price of SHIB hit new lows last week, plunging 20% below its previous value. The meme currency has made a little recovery, gaining 6.4% in the last day, but its latest decline shows that negative pressure is still there.

Despite the decline, IntoTheBlock notes that big holder inflows have increased by 553.59% over the last week. On February 2, a total of 1.27 trillion SHIB had been amassed by large-scale holders. On the other hand, whales' purchase activity skyrocketed the next day, reaching a staggering 6.51 trillion SHIB.

Although there has been a notable increase in whale arrivals, the data from ITB reveals a remarkable surge in whale departures. On February 2, whales released 967.25 billion SHIB, a 1,290% increase from the previous seven days. When whales swam an incredible 6.5 trillion SHIB the next day, a difference of more than 5.5 trillion from the day before, this pattern persisted.

Will SHIB's Whales Soon Be Ready for a Price Rally?

Although massive trades may affect market patterns, it is yet unclear if the current uptick in Shiba Inu whale movements heralds a price surge. Data from CoinMarketCap suggests that Shiba Inu is beginning to show some signs of life after its recent decline, which might be due to the uptick in whale transfers.

Though it has recovered somewhat, the Shiba Inu price is still much lower than its all-time high of more than $0.00002 in 2024. Meme coin's value has plummeted to $0.000015 as of this writing, reflecting negative market trends and shifts in investor perception. The trade volume of the meme currency has also dropped 38.7 percent in the last day, reaching $874.2 million.

PI NETWORK UPDATE: 2000PI COIN = $10 || PI NETWORK'S BIG DILEMMA EXPLAINED, SHOULD YOU BE CONCERNED?

After years of trial and error, I finally cracked the code. I turned 1 SOL into 200 SOL in just one week! Want to know how? Here’s a step-by-step guide 🧵👇

The Risk of Trading Memecoins

Trading memecoins is like navigating a maze filled with hidden traps. Scams and tricks are everywhere. To make big profits, you must analyze both on-chain (blockchain data) and off-chain (external information) metrics.

Many fail because they skip this critical step. Don’t be one of them. Put in the work, or risk financial loss.

Memecoins: The Rising Trend

Forget altcoins backed by venture capital—memecoins are the star of the show. The hype around memes is growing, and this feels like the start of a major market upswing led by risk-takers.

This isn’t just a passing trend; it could reshape the market as we know it.

The Key to Success

Many traders research for hours but still pick the wrong coins or sell too early. What’s the solution?

Use both on-chain and off-chain analysis. Those who master these tools often see consistent success.

Step 1: Identify the Narrative

Understanding the narrative behind a memecoin is essential. Ignoring it is a quick way to lose money.

Focus on coins that align with current trends, such as:

AI-themed coins

Pet-themed memecoins

Seasonal themes like Christmas memecoins 🎅

Step 2: DEX Research

Dive into decentralized exchange (DEX) analytics using tools like Dexscreener. Here’s how:

1. Use filters to eliminate low-quality coins.

2. Sort coins by volume to identify active trading pairs.

Step 3: On-Chain Metrics

Examine the token’s on-chain data. Key things to look for:

The top 10 holders owning less than 25%.

Involvement of Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), venture capitalists (VCs), and smart investors.

Insights from the "snipers" section and the BlueChip index.

Step 4: Use Tools Like @BubbleMaps

@BubbleMaps is a powerful tool to analyze token distribution. Here’s how:

1. Visit Bubble Maps.

2. Paste the contract address (CA).

3. Check holder distribution and clusters to identify related wallets.

Step 5: Ensure Token Safety

Before investing, scan the token contract to avoid scams, rug pulls, and honeypots. Only proceed if the scan confirms the contract is safe.
