CEO of Tesla and SpaceX Elon Musk he has something to say Christopher Nolan‘s ‘The Odyssey’, the first since Tom Holland and the Matt Damon starrer epic opened in theaters.In a social media post, Musk said that his AI device Grok Imagine will create a “historically accurate” movie of “The Odyssey” by the end of 2026.“Before the end of this year, Grok Imagine will create a feature-length film of The Odyssey that is historically accurate and true to Homer’s art,” the tweet read, alongside an AI-generated video from Nolan’s film.Responding to another post, the businessman also shared his feelings for the director of the award Mel Gibson 100 million dollars to retell the history of the Greek epic. A netizen wants to say, “I want Elon Musk to give Mel Gibson $100 million to film the Odyssey with ships, weapons, weapons, weapons, and armor, and all the dialogue taken from the original poem and delivered in Homeric Greek.”In response, Musk said, “I’m down.”Apparently, the statement came months after Musk criticized Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’, due to the casting of Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy. Reacting to X-Images, conservative columnist Matt Walsh wrote, “There is not a single person in the world who thinks Lupita Nyong’o is ‘the most beautiful woman in the world.’ But Christopher Nolan knows he will be called a racist if he gives the role of ‘most beautiful woman’ to a white person.In response, Musk said, “Sure.”Earlier this month, ahead of the film’s release, Musk shared an AI-generated trailer for ‘Iliad’ – inspired by Homer’s tale of the Trojan War – created using Grok Imagine 1.5’s newly released xAI video format. Posting the video on his handle, he praised the creative process. In response to Musk, the Heavy Pulp twitter page wrote, “I had so much fun making this for you all!” Musk, apparently impressed with the results, floated an ambitious idea, replying, “You want to make a full movie?”Based on Homer’s poem, ‘The Odyssey’ follows the story of Odysseus and his long journey home after the Trojan War. The film stars Matt Damon in the lead role, along with Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron and the cast.
