Looks like checkout actually works... out of curiosity, what is the legality of using an actual likeness of Elon Musk?

Thanks for sharing. This is run by my brother and I.

Legality is an interesting one, we sought counsel before starting. There is fair use protection for a parody or caricature of a celebrity. We’re doing this out of nothing but respect for Elon, and we hope it brings people some fun!

I'm more curious how they extracted 'essence of Musk' from Musk, is he a partner? lol

"Our product and brand is intentionally a parody, and is not connected to the real Elon Musk."
