An image of a farting unicorn is causing a stink between a Colorado artist and Elon Musk.
Tom Edwards created the whimsical image of a unicorn powering an electric car with its own gas in 2010, and put it on ceramic mugs that he sells. “Electric cars are good for the environment because electricity comes from magic,” the mugs say.
That eventually caught the eye of Musk, the chief executive of electric-car maker Tesla Inc. TSLA, +0.73% , who tweeted last year: “Maybe my favorite mug ever.”
