Tom Edwards, a Colorado-based potter who designed a “farting unicorn” mug that Tesla CEO Elon Musk became enamored with, announced last Friday that the two sides had reached an “agreement” over the use of the image. No terms were disclosed.

“It’s clear there were some misunderstandings that led to this escalating, but I’m just glad that everything has been cleared up,” Edwards wrote. “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.

The image, which Edwards created in 2010, was first noticed by Musk in February 2017, when the entrepreneur called it “maybe my favorite mug ever.”
