Elon Musk Allowed the Game Developer to Use the Spacex Logo
The persistent game developer from Bulgaria has managed to catch the attention of the entrepreneur and founder of SpaceX, Elon Musk. It took 154 days.
A developer named Lyubomir Vladimirov is engaged in a game about the colonization of Mars. For his project, he decided to get the name and logo of SpaceX. The author of the game promised that he would ask permission to use brand attributes every day for a whole year.
Dear Elon,
— Lyubomir Vladimirov (@lvladimirovBG) January 12, 2021
I'm a game dev. and I am making a game about colonizing Mars with you and SpaceX in it. If you think it's cool, all I need is the "Go ahead" to use your name and Logos.
I will post this every day for a year or until I get a Yes or a No!
154 / 365

You can steal our name/logos & we probably won’t sue you

Vladimirov thanked Musk for permission. Some users have warned the developer that he should be careful because the entrepreneur's response does not seem like an unambiguous agreement.
