I would think a simple thankyou for the promotion and recognition would be enough, but I guess a lawsuit is another way of handling it?

Used once, that could be considered "fair use", and a thank you for the exposure might be suitable. Used multiple times without compensation is theft of intellectual property, and I would not expect any artist or other creator to thank Musk and Tesla for that. So yes, a lawsuit from the creator is an appropriate means of handling it seeing Musk's comments. Probably many lawyers or firms looking for the exposure of suing Musk/Tesla available to take it up on spec.
