“The Odyssey”. Elon Musk promises to release AI version by the end of the year

A christopher Nolan’s latest work, “The Odyssey”, is the great film of the moment and became the director’s film with the biggest box office at the premiere. Critics and viewers seem pleased with the film starring Matt Damon, but it seems that not everyone is happy with the final result.

One of these people is Elon Musk, a multimillion-dollar mogul and owner of Tesla and SpaceX who has spent the last few weeks criticizing Nolan's choices, especially in relation to some of the cast's..

Certainly dissatisfied with the success of “The Odyssey” in cinema, Musk published on social network X where he stated that an alternative version would be released to the film produced only with Artificial Intelligence on the platform – Grok Imagine.

Musk's promise came in response to an X user who shared a 3-minute video with dialogue from Homer's book "The Odyssey", which was (allegedly) created with Grok's Artificial Intelligence.

The final result seems to have been to Musk's liking, who promised that technology would be used to release an alternative version of Christopher Nolan's film and that it can be seen in the cinemas today.

“ Before the end of the year, Grok Image will make a complete version of the film ‘The Odyssey’ that is historically accurate and true to Homer’s art”, can be read in the publication shared by Musk.

How does the The Guardian, much of the criticisms of Musk and his followers relate to Nolan's decision to choose Lupita Nyong'o (a black actress) for the role of Helena de Troy and Elliot Page (a trans actor) for the role of one of Ulysses' soldiers. 

“Christopher Nolan profaned Homer and humiliated himself on his knees to meet the ‘woke’ choices required to win an Oscar”Musk wrote in early July, before the film premiere. “What a worm”.

Unsatisfied, the multimillion-dollar tycoon even argued on X with one of the actors in the film.

Tom Holland, the actor best known for playing Spider-Man in Marvel's films, decided to underline the positive reviews of critics who have already had the opportunity to see "The Odyssey".

“ More praise for ‘The Odyssey’ of people who – surprisingly – waited to see the film before giving their opinion”, wrote Holland on your social network page X. This publication was shared by film critics and, in response, Musk said that the actor is “a great horn”.

The insult was entitled to answer from Tom Holland, who replied to Musk stating that he did not see “The Odyssey” because he thought it was “woke” it's like “shooting in the foot”, stating that the loser is himself for doing so.

Then the British actor made a new publication where he said he didn't know the film was like “a lightning rod for an entire cultural war”. “ If you liked the other Nolan movies, then you will love 'The Odyssey'. If they didn’t like it, then don’t see it.”, finished Holland.

My last comment on this whole business (which I hadn’t realised was a lighting rod for an entire culture war) – if you like Nolan’s other films, you will love The Odyssey. If you didn’t like them, then miss it.
