Elon Musk accused of stealing dog's photo, comedian asks for a car as compensation

Elon Musk on April 6 shared a picture of an adorable dog on Twitter which featured the dog in two different hairstyles, showing the animal's before and after trimmed hair looks. The picture that Musk shared also had a caption that read, "My dog got a haircut and now it looks like he gave up drinking." However, while sharing the picture, Musk did not expect that it would attract accusation of stealing the picture. Stand-up comedian Morgan Murphy accused Musk of stealing his dog's photo and in return asked for a Tesla a compensation.

The hilarious Twitter exchange between the two attracted a lot of reactions with people taking a jibe at the multi-billionaire businessman for stealing jokes on the micro-blogging platform.
