Musk's AI version of The Odyssey panned as dull and pointless
Musk's AI Odyssey film, made to outdo Nolan's version, drew savage reviews as lifeless and pointless.
Elon Musk criticized Nolan's film before watching it. Musk claimed he could make a better, more authentic version using Grok AI.
Musk released a seven-minute episode online. Critics called it ponderous and inert, with awkward AI graphics and robotic voicing that drains every dramatic moment of meaning.
The footage looks like a screensaver. Musk shows no passion for storytelling, only for winning an old argument.
As Nolan's film continues to gain acclaim and box office success, Musk's response has landed flat.
