## Summary

Elon Musk's public feud with Christopher Nolan's blockbuster adaptation of The Odyssey has culminated in a pledge that his AI chatbot Grok will produce its own "historically accurate" feature-length version of Homer's epic before the end of 2026. Musk announced the plan on X, sharing a three-minute AI-generated short made using the Grok Imagine tool, capping months of criticism he has levelled at Nolan's film over its casting and perceived "woke" agenda, despite historians noting that Homer's work is itself a fictional epic rather than a historical record.

Musk's objections began in January with reports that Lupita Nyong'o would play Helen of Troy, and by May he had endorsed a racially charged comment from a far-right commentator attacking her casting. He also condemned rumours that trans actor Elliot Page would play Achilles, though Page in fact plays a different character, Sinon, in Nolan's film. Judging by the clip shared so far, Musk's version appears to feature an all-white cast, and given that Nolan's Odyssey was shot entirely on Imax film with extensive practical effects and has performed strongly at the box office, commentators suggest Grok's AI-generated take is unlikely to rival it.
