Elon Musk says his generative AI product Grok Imagine will produce a historically accurate, full-length adaptation of Homer’s “The Odyssey,” responding to his ongoing criticism of Christopher Nolan’s recent film. Several outlets report that Musk makes the promise in posts on X, including a pinned July 22 message that features AI-generated footage depicting a scene from the epic. Musk says the AI-made movie will be completed “by the end of the year” and described it as faithful to “the art of Homer,” “true to the art of Homer,” or “true to Homer,” depending on the account. Coverage also links the announcement to Musk’s earlier objections to Nolan’s casting decisions, which he has said undermine the film’s fidelity to the ancient work. One outlet notes Musk had called the casting of Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy an insult to Homer’s description and referenced other casting comments as well. Some reports add that Musk later said he would consider backing a separate adaptation idea involving Mel Gibson and emphasized historically accurate details and use of Homeric Greek dialogue. Details on production, casting, and release distribution for the Grok Imagine project remain limited across the sources.

1 month agoElon Vows AI-Made 'Odyssey' After Blasting Nolan's Take On Homer Via American Greatness, Elon Musk says he’ll beat Hollywood at its own game, pledging that his artificial intelligence venture will produce a full-length film of Homer’s “The Odyssey” by year’s end, one he insists will stay faithful to the ancient text in a way Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster adaptation has not. Musk, believed to be the first trillionaire in modern history, unveiled the project Tuesday evening on X, posting AI-generated footage from Grok Imagine depicting a scene from the epic poem. “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,” he wrote, offering no further details on production, casting or distribution. 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 https://t.co/bVHzUmY9WN — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 22, 2026 In a follow-up post, Musk said he was “down” with a fan’s pitch to instead hand the project to actor and director Mel Gibson, backed by $100 million, to produce “an Odyssey adaptation with painstakingly historically accurate ships, armour, weapons and casting, with all dialogue taken straight from the original poem and delivered in Homeric Greek.” The announcement is the latest salvo in Musk’s long-running feud with Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” a Matt Damon-led adaptation Musk has criticized repeatedly over its casting choices. In January, Musk wrote that “Chris Nolan lost his integrity,” responding to a post that called the film “an insult to the author” over the casting of Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy. In May, after conservative commentator Matt Walsh suggested Nolan cast Nyong’o only to avoid being labeled “racist,” Musk replied with a single word: “True.” Musk’s criticism hasn’t dented the film’s commercial performance, however. The R-rated, three-hour epic pulled in a $120 million opening weekend, according to Breitbart News, far exceeding pre-release industry projections of $80 million to $90 million.
