Elon Musk makes an insulting remark about historian Tom Holland during an online exchange that expands into a “woke” related argument over Holland’s views concerning *The Odyssey*. According to the reports, Musk posts the comment on X, the social media platform he owns, responding to a post from the academic. The Daily Mail describes the exchange as part of a broader dispute that includes culture and ideology themes often associated with “woke” debates. The reports focus on Musk’s direct reaction to Holland and the public nature of the back-and-forth on X. No additional details are provided in the supplied material about the specific content of Holland’s original post, Musk’s broader position, or any formal response from Holland beyond the exchange itself. The information presented emphasizes the social-media interaction and the characterization of the dispute as connected to cultural politics surrounding *The Odyssey*, rather than offering independent verification of claims made by either side.
