Elon Musk says Grok Imagine will make AI film adaptation of The Odyssey
Thirty percent of Americans now say it was "inappropriate" to cast Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy. That opinion didn't exist a year ago. Somebody built it. New piece on the campaign against The Odyssey: what it failed to do, and what it actually accomplished. www.readtpa.com/p/where-did-...

periwinkle8430% of America hasn't even read The Odyssey
Breddy Tidgewater79Personally I think it’s bad that like 30% of the writing on every major media release now is an update on what the racist-who-jacks-off-all-day has to say about it
Sheila Fyfe54Dunno. She looks awfully beautiful to me.
🗝️🐍🦉🌙 Dolly 🗡️ Dagger 🍉🇺🇦📚🌈37Meanwhile, they’ve never read the Odyssey and think it’s factual
Silky25So the vast majority of Americans do not think so. A super-majority of them. We gotta stop listening to those sour-ass minorities in the US
Drew McWeeny76I don't believe for a second that 30% of Americans believe this. Nope. I don't think 30% of Americans give a shit about who got cast in what. What about the vast majority of people who have never participated in a YouGov poll and who wouldn't know where to find one?
The Rude Pundit56Buncha fucking assholes who need to touch grass.
Orlando B ✍️ COMMS OPEN32What annoys me the most about all of this bs is how dishonest it is. You want to convince me that it's inappropriate to cast a black woman as Greek but it's fine that most of the cast is so pale that they look like they don't even belong in the Mediterranean? Get the fuck outta my face!
Ravishing Rick Ruud van Nistelrooy730% of Americans would happily kick a puppy through a baby’s chest if their god/king told them to
Diane Darcy6Helen of Troy, a woman who hatched out of an egg cause Zeus had sex with her mother in swan form is perfectly accepted by 30% of Americans, but not the fact that she’s Black in a movie? Even though Lupita Nyong’o is stunningly gorgeous, which is what Helen of Troy is famous for? Does not compute.
Lisa Fazio6Public opinion is and can be shaped!!! Proof number 9,578
Kansas City Butterfly🦋 8/7 ♌️5She is in 15 minutes of a 3 hour movie.
Dan the Gnome4So... about the percentage that STILL support what Trump is doing? That's not a surprise. Racists gonna racism.
randy4the most exhausting thing about all this helen of troy drama is that the character has like 15 minutes of screentime in a 3 hour movie and most of it is as an out of focus background character
Mike4Wasn't Helen of Troy supposed to be hot? If so, perfect casting
"Before this year ends, Grok Imagine will make a full-length movie of The Odyssey that is historically accurate and true to the art of Homer."
KevTheRev8Homer was blind. A "historically accurate" Odyssey would be an audiobook in Ancient Greek.
Ben8But Helen was supposed to be beautiful, a face that launched a thousand ships. That is a unit of measurement known as a "Helen." A milli-Helen is the amount of beauty needed to launch a single ship, and I believe we are looking at around 40 micro-Helens here.
Ryan Germann5They should spell her name HO'LEN.
🌺HippiesRule🌺4Ooooooo do Lord of the Rings next
Larry Tenney4Imagine how much money he is paying her to stick it out through 2.0!
Not A Crook3The Face That Launched 1,000 Shits
The Chuds: We’re gonna make our own Ai Odyssey, with white blackjacks and white hookers! My brother from another mother: variety.com/2026/film/ne...
Stewart Moncure7I miss when we only had The Asylum to make knockoff movies. At least they used living people and cameras.
Ruth EJ Booth (she/they)6And he could have easily spent his riches learning to appreciate and create art, but he chose to become the world's most insecure, most edgy billionaire instead. Sad.
Richard Humphries3You gots good peoples about you Cargill
Muugin2I didn't know Odysseus was that upset about white genocide in south africa...
Slipsreem1Just soo fucking creepy innit?
Jimmy Detroit1I'm sure Elon knows just as much about film as he does about raising children.
Really excited for Grok to make the historically accurate version of The Faerie Queen next. Followed by the historically accurate version of Star Wars. variety.com/2026/film/gl...
Neil Mick9And you just know the Grok historically accurate version of Lord of The Rings will be coming to a monitor near you, next.
Chad Briggs6I'm hoping for a historically accurate Planet of the Apes
Lawrence Allan3I’m so tired of newspapers and magazines doing PR for rich people. Musk is such a fabulist at this point, yet they keep printing his words like it’s fact.
Charles Bergquist 2Historically accurate SpongeBob SquarePants when
Frantz Schoobert 🇨🇦🇺🇸2« Historically accurate », you mean not in English maybe?
Shem 🏳️🌈🇵🇭🇬🇧🇪🇸1The ai image he used to promote it didn’t even have historically accurate armor
Anthony Michael Kreis100We also need a historically accurate depiction of Romulus and Remus nursing from the gentle she-wolf.
Hailey Kaas - Cancer fund ($10/$750)5Let's also not forget to ask for the historically accurate version of The Jetsons!
RanTLaw3Thor is ready for a historically accurate telling
Elon is all mad about the casting in Nolan’s blockbuster The Odyssey, so now he’s promising Grok Imagine will pump out a “historically accurate” AI version by year’s end. What a joke. An AI film from the guy still seething that Lupita Nyong’o played Helen of Troy. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ju...
McSpocky™21Someone tell Musk that Helen of Troy is a mythical figure from Homer, not a historical person with one fixed ethnicity. She’s been portrayed by women of many different backgrounds in art, theater, & film for centuries. There’s no single “accurate” look for a character who never actually existed.
Boredmonkey4Yeah, his AI version should be out about the time he lands on Mars or makes an autopilot Electric car that doesn't kill people.
mpwf-epluribusunum.bsky.social3I want to know who or what did this man baby do to actually “earn” and/or have billions of dollars! Like WTF!!!!!?!?!? Historical accuracy of multi headed monsters and cyclops?!????!
Chris Wagnon2How would Elon even know when he likely burned “The Odyssey” before he had to read it.
Birdie1We really should stop paying attention to the spoiled brat. It’s the only attention he gets these days and he is so fucking oblivious.
David Stone1It will probably be fun to pick it apart, like if we see a character in a crowd scene talking on a cell phone or wearing cargo shorts.
imagine being a trillionaire and spending it on making fucking Grok instead of, like, finding out what happens if you give your five favorite animation studios each ten billion dollars to make their own adaptation of your favorite book
Sisyphus, but for reducing tail latency14My promise to all of you: if I ever sell my soul so much that I have billions and billions of dollars, the world will at least get absolutely *heart-wrenchingly* beautiful adaptations of each of the Earthsea books out of it
Chatham Harrison dba TRUMP DELENDUS EST4I am permanently convinced that no one capable of making good use of a billion dollars ever makes a billion dollars
Bisquey Rizzness1This is a wild thing. Musk claims to be a fan of The Culture series but the only artistic thought in his head is making an anti woke clap back version of The Odyssey.
"noted" filmmaker ELON MUSK 🤣 is so MAD at THE ODYSSEY's commercial success & HATES that christopher nolan casted a trans actor & chose a black actress to play helen of troy that he's going to use GROK AI to make "his" version now? 🤣 #blues variety.com/2026/film/gl...
IanSeine™️5Isn’t The Odyssey fundamentally a work of fiction/mythology? It’s an ancient Greek epic poem (attributed to Homer, composed around the 8th century BCE) full of gods, monsters, magic, and fantastical adventures. It’s not a historical chronicle or documentary.  Smh 🙈 #Blues
LH in L.A.1elon is such an ass
BourbonMan1I can't wait to not watch it.
