Elon Musk Promises AI Odyssey Movie This Year, Says ‘I’m Down’ To Fund Mel Gibson’s $100 Million Version

In the span of about an hour, the X owner replied “I’m down” to a viral pitch asking him to hand Mel Gibson $100 million for a historically accurate adaptation in Homeric Greek.

Then he pinned a post vowing that his own AI video generator will produce a feature-length version of Homer’s epic before the year is out.

“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.

The Pinned Pledge: A Grok-Made Odyssey By December

The Grok post is the concrete one. Musk was quote-tweeting the verified account Heavy Pulp, which had posted a Grok Imagine-generated dialogue scene from the Odyssey.

He was using that language to praise Mel Gibson’s ability to do it right.

“White-Armed” was a formulaic epithet referring to status to indicate a person was of elite status and someone who never knew physical labor or had to venture outdoors.

It very well could be used metaphorically, or it could be metrical necessity. But we also know that she was Spartan, not sub-Saharan African.

AI? You mean the comment? All me my friend. The advantage of an education I guess.

Now, how about the actual facts within the post?

Clarity. Zeus was in the form of a swan when he visited Leda.

I seem to remember Armand Assante being a pretty cheeky Odysseus too.

It will be called, “Oh Brother, where art thou?”

The Odessey is “re done” every five or six years.

Leda was mortal, so I'm not sure what you're saying. AI hallucination?

Interesting. ‘Cause when I queried AI, the result was practically verbatim to your post. Things that make you go “hmmmm”.

I assume you saw the immediate clarification after.

Is that what this site is about now? Just throw out accusations against people instead of discussing the actual merits of what is said?

You should try addressing the actual merits of someone’s statements instead of trying to accuse them of using AI. You don’t seem very genuine with your only concern is attacking a commenter and ignoring everything they actually said.

Look up ad hominem. See what AI has to say about that.

But back to the original point which we are now a few posts into ignoring. Comments?

The other thing that is happening is Muslims are starting to target the rundown neighborhoods in cities, and buying up the properties, and turning them into Sharia zones.
