Tesla's Optimus has a striking resemblance to Sonny, the fictional robot protagonist from the movie.
Meanwhile, Robotaxi looks a bit like Audi RSQ, a concept car with swinging 'butterfly doors' developed by Audi for use as a product placement.
And Robovan is similar to USR Robot Transport stainless steel automated cargo truck used to transport robots around Chicago.
Although Proyas directed 'I, Robot', the film was written by two American screenwriters loosely based on 1950 book of the same name by Isaac Asimov.
However, Proyas maintained a degree of artistic direction in his film and has claimed the designs as he own.
In response to the director's post on Sunday, many commentators actually praised Musk by bringing the designs to life.
One user replied: 'Haha, you should be honoured. He has made them real life.'
Another person said: 'He [Musk] has been and always will be a grifter bro.'
Yet another posted: 'Be honored. What you did with CGI and a green screen, @elonmusk did in reality.'
