Musk challenges Nolan, vows to create historically accurate AI-generated Odyssey by year-end

Elon Musk has announced that Grok Imagine, an AI-powered video generator developed by his xAI company, will create a feature-length film based on Homer’s Odyssey.

The film is expected to be released by the end of this year, Musk said in a post on X.

According to Musk, the AI-generated movie will be historically accurate and faithful to the vision of the ancient Greek poet.

“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,” Musk wrote.

On July 6, Musk criticized the trailer for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO called the director a worm who bows down to the Oscars and adds elements of “woke politics” to his work.

Musk said he believes Nolan’s film adaptation dishonors the work of the ancient Greek poet.
