Elon Musk's Campaign Against Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' Fails to Impact Box Office

Elon Musk has been publicly criticizing Christopher Nolan's adaptation of Homer's 'The Odyssey' for months, accusing the film of lacking 'historical accuracy' and targeting the casting of Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy and Elliot Page as Sinon. Musk declared he would use his AI, Grok Imagine, to generate a full-length version that is 'historically accurate and true to the art of Homer,' and offered Mel Gibson $100 million to film a version with dialogue in Homeric Greek. Despite Musk's campaign, the film has achieved critical and commercial success, with conservative commentators like Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin praising it, while Matt Walsh criticized it as 'woke.' Discourse has focused on practical effects, Nolan's interpretation, and the altered ending, not culture war talking points. Musk's efforts have largely fallen flat.
