As we beforehand reported, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is shattering field workplace information and wowing critics and audiences world wide.

However the world’s wealthiest man is just not impressed.

After all, it’s laborious to take that opinion critically, as it seems that Elon Musk has not but bothered to truly watch the film.

No, like 1000’s of annoying hyper-online chuds, Musk way back determined that the film was irredeemably “woke” as a result of it featured Black and trans actors.

He wrongly predicted that the movie would bomb (it’s essentially the most profitable of Nolan’s profession) and that viewers would share his disdain for the casting selections (it at present holds a 97 % viewers approval score on Rotten Tomatoes).

You would possibly assume that after being so loudly unsuitable about each facet of The Odyssey’s reception, Musk would search to only quietly transfer on.

However that’s by no means been Elon’s model. As a substitute, he’s determined to double down by selling his personal adaptation of Homer’s epic poem, one constructed totally along with his Grok AI device.

“Dialogue scene from Homer’s Odyssey constructed on Grok Think about,” reads a tweet reposted by Musk on Tuesday.

“Earlier than this yr ends, Grok Think about will make a full-length film of The Odyssey that’s traditionally correct and true to the artwork of Homer,” Elon added.

Now, apart from the truth that the footage supplied seems like crap and options dialogue that’s not even near being an correct translation of Homer, The Odyssey is pure fiction that’s populated by gods and monsters, and due to this fact, no “traditionally correct” model has ever existed.

Fortunately, quite a few customers on Elon’s X platform had been fast to level this out.

“How are you going to make a ‘traditionally correct’ model a couple of f–king faux story?” wrote one commenter.

“‘Traditionally correct.’ There’s a cyclops,” one other added.

Now, factual accuracy would possibly nonetheless be of concern to an creator of historic fiction, but it surely didn’t appear to matter a lot to Homer (who was writing about 500 years after the occasions described in The Odyssey). So why ought to it matter a lot to trendy interpreters of the poem?

The actual fact is, it shouldn’t, and Elon wouldn’t care both, had been it not for the truth that his trans daughter desires nothing to do with him, and due to this fact he’s all butthurt {that a} trans actor was forged in a film.

Regardless of the case, the true query is just not whether or not the Grok-yssey can be correct, however whether or not it will likely be any good. It’s essential to notice that Elon didn’t make any guarantees in regards to the high quality of the completed product.

Perhaps he’s lastly getting sick of being unsuitable.
