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.

That’s all her........she doesnt need a silly old bra.
“Look up ad hominem.”
As if I’d have to.
If they do it in Greek, I hope they try to approximate the pronunciation of Homeric Greek, not Modern Greek.
But where will they find a cyclops?
I’d also like to thank Elon for that large DOGE check.
At least he got the race of the totally historically accurate Cyclops correct.
Originally I’d read that Nolan was going to cast a Labradoodle to play Argos, can you even imagine?
Has anyone of you tools even read the Iliad or the Odyssey?
If not from now on all actors should be!
I’d pay to see the Odyssey, done by Guy Richie.
Or Uwe Boll with Armie Hammer as Odysseus. Musk has been a huge supporter of his recent thriller.
“Helen of Troy was not a Negress”
Damn right, Helen was hatched from an egg after Zeus, the god of thunder, took the form of a swan to impregnate her mother.
A swan-human hybrid?
“

Oh yes, doge gone it
“
But where will they find a cyclops?”
I hope that isn’t mis-cast. Cyclops should be cast to play cyclops
Yah,I don’t think she’s wearing one.

What.😁
“Pinned” on X means that a post stays at the top of the persons home page, even as other posts are made by that person. There is a little pushpin icon and the word “pinned” on the pinned post.
Maybe Helen’s mother was a black swan.
Rosanna Podesta as Helen of Troy.
That bonnie lass COULD start a war.
Just from a photograph across 70 years I can still smell it.
I’ll be in my bunk.

Rosanna's got "it" alright.
