Elon Musk, farting unicorn artist reach agreement and end feud

It sure seems like the saga of Elon Musk and The Farting Unicorn™ is reaching a satisfactory conclusion, clearing up Musk’s plate to continue feuding with rescuers of children stranded in caves or journalists or whoever else is on deck.
The story, thus far, in case you hadn’t heard: A drawing of a farting unicorn showed up as a Tesla easter egg but a woman named Lisa Prank claimed Musk ripped it off from the artist (her father) without permission and Musk was pretty Musk-y about it.
So here we are.
Then, on Saturday, the original artist, Tom Edwards, published a post on his site that a deal was reached, and he seems to be pretty happy about it.
I am happy to report that we have reached an agreement with Tesla that resolves our issues in a way that everyone feels good about! It’s clear there were some misunderstandings that led to this escalating, but I’m just glad that everything has been cleared up. I’ve always been a Tesla fan, and I’m looking forward to getting back to making pots and selling them in my online store.
As for Musk, he made his feelings known on — where else? — Twitter, with a pair of tweets: the first an emoji tweet with a link to Edwards’ post and the second a screenshot of the post just in case people on Twitter are too lazy to click the link and read (fair enough).
All in all, not a bad weekend for Musk, who also saw the successful night launch of his Falcon 9 rocket in the wee hours of Sunday morning and a successful landing of his newest Falcon 9, rocket, the “Block 5.”
Farting unicorn mugs for everyone!
