Elon Musk is one of the people of this century, but sometimes he has some slights that we don't understand. Especially when he has not wanted to credit a work that he had shared in his account to the artist who had made it.
And one of the good ones has been put together, after commenting that the technology billionaire maintains that crediting artists destroys the medium. The one that has taken a big disappointment is Meli Gamali, although to tell the truth it has been put in the trigger with thousands of likes.
Accrediting the work of an artist is very importantNot only because it is very easy to mention or even link to your website, but because it is a positive practice for the creative community in general.
Hello all, I'm a little artist in this big world,
But if you would travel, follow me???https://t.co/uP2xEGSpJ1#art #illustration #artists #draw #artistsontwitter #drawing #illustrationart #videogames #Star Wars #NieRAutomata #KingdomHearts #travel #painting pic.twitter.com/arJmCjm3oX- Meli Melo ?? (@MagaliProd) June 16, 2019
Musk does not seem to agree with this maxim and everything has begun when Elon tweeted about Magali's artwork June 15. Everything would have been easier if this man had put a link or even mentioned the artist. It did not.
The artist immediately shared your reaction to the tweet mentioning the inattention by Musk; a tweet that has received more than 13.000 likes and has gotten more than 3.500 people to talk about what happened.
A tweet that he deleted Elon mentioned that he would like him to stop giving credit to artists on Twitter when a "fool" could quickly find out who did the work. Logically when an account like yours followed by millions of users, many would find it, but it is not always that your work is tweeted by a person with so many followers.
Anyway this artist has managed to put his art in the trigger And that now any of his tweets reach thousands and thousands of likes, free marketing operation by any of the parties?
