Musk vows AI-generated Odyssey film via Grok before 2026 as Nolan's version breaks records

Elon Musk has pledged to release a full-length AI-generated adaptation of The Odyssey through Grok Imagine before the end of 2026, describing it as 'historically accurate.' The announcement follows six months of Musk publicly criticising Christopher Nolan's casting choices for his own big-screen adaptation of the epic. Musk's claim of historical accuracy has drawn scrutiny, given that Homer's Odyssey is widely regarded as mythological rather than historical. Meanwhile, Nolan's IMAX version of The Odyssey has opened to his largest global debut ever, grossing $264.1 million worldwide. Calls for a boycott of Nolan's film appear to have had no measurable impact on its box office performance.
