## Key points

- Domingo mocked Musk’s AI “Odyssey” plan.
- Musk objected to Nolan’s diverse casting.
- Grok film was promised by end-2026.

## Summary

Colman Domingo criticised Elon Musk’s proposal for Grok to create a full-length AI adaptation of Homer’s “The Odyssey”, ridiculing Musk’s assertion that it would be historically accurate. Guest-hosting “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, Domingo argued that the idea appeared tied to Musk’s objections to the diverse casting in Christopher Nolan’s forthcoming adaptation, and noted the difficulty of claiming historical precision for a mythological work.

Musk said Grok would make the film by the end of 2026 and shared a three-minute AI-generated sample scene created by a Grok user. He has previously condemned Nolan’s casting of Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy, while director Scott Derrickson also criticised Musk publicly over his comments.
