Summary
By the end of 2026, Elon Musk says Grok Imagine will produce a full-length AI version of Homer’s “The Odyssey,” which he described on X as “historically accurate and true to the art of Homer.”
A 3-minute AI short shared with the post previewed the project, though the “historically accurate” claim is likely to draw scrutiny given the epic’s fictional monsters and magic.
Musk’s announcement follows his earlier attacks on Christopher Nolan’s adaptation, including criticism of casting Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy and support for transphobic posts about Elliot Page, who was later confirmed as playing Sinon.
Nolan’s film has nonetheless become a major commercial hit for Universal, taking $264 million worldwide on opening weekend and tracking toward the director’s biggest box-office run.
