Producer thanks Elon Musk for making his film 'Thappattam's' poster 'world-famous' after sharing it as meme

Adham Bava, film producer who has worked predominantly in the Tamil film industry, thanked Elon Musk for making his movie "Thappattam's" poster 'world-famous". On Tuesday, the Tesla CEO took to X to share an Indian meme, taking a jab at Apple’s integration with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Musk's tweet, featuring the meme which is also the poster of the film, highlighted concerns about potential privacy violations due to Apple sharing data with OpenAI.

The meme, titled "How intelligence works," featured the two actors sharing coconut water, symbolising the data-sharing dynamics between Apple and OpenAI.

"My thanks to Elon Musk for making my movie "Thappattam" poster world-famous," Bava wrote on X.

Needless to say, the producer's post went viral and amassed over three lakh views with several social media users congratulating Bava in the comments section.

Meanwhile, the tech billionaire previously expressed his discontent with Apple’s move, threatening to ban Apple devices from his companies if OpenAI is integrated at the OS level. He criticised Apple's ability to ensure security and privacy with OpenAI, stating, “Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river.”
