The billionaire’s announcement follows a series of aggressive critiques directed at Nolan’s work, which grossed $264.06 million during its opening weekend. Musk labeled the filmmaker a "worm" and accused him of compromising source material to satisfy industry trends, specifically targeting the casting of Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy. These comments ignited significant debate on the platform, with Musk branding the director an "anti-White racist" in previous exchanges.
Beyond his own AI project, Musk signaled support for a separate, high-budget vision for the classic text. He responded positively to a proposal suggesting a $100 million production helmed by Mel Gibson, which would feature authentic period armor, weaponry, and dialogue performed in Homeric Greek. While Nolan’s cinematic release continues to dominate global box offices, Musk’s push toward automated storytelling aims to challenge the industry standard for historical fidelity.
