As Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey continues to dominate the box office, Colman Domingo is the latest to revel in Elon Musk’s sour grapes. The 2x Oscar nominee, who guest-hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live this week, couldn’t help but poke fun at Musk’s announcement that his Grok Image tool will generate a ‘historically accurate’ adaptation of Homer’s historical epic by the end of the year.

In his opening monologue for Wednesday’s episode, Domingo said, ‘Meanwhile, we could have yet another Odyssey movie on the way. Now, Elon Musk is planning to create what he calls a historically accurate version of The Odyssey using his Grok AI. And by historically accurate, he means whiter than Christmas at Cracker Barrel.’

Domingo continued, ‘Of course, this is all because Elon and his musketeers are upset over the diversity casting of The Odyssey. And I don’t want to get technical here, but you can’t make a historically accurate version of something that is totally made the f*ck up.’

The actor went on to say, ‘I mean, The Odyssey is fiction, you know, like The Hunger Games or the president’s cognitive exams. I mean, come on. Doesn’t Elon Musk have better things to do? Wasn’t this bitch supposed to be on Mars by now? But maybe we should show a little compassion for Elon. This is a tough time for him. Helen of Troy is a beautiful Black woman. And this week, Jimmy Kimmel is a beautiful Black man.’

Despite the movie’s global $300M+ cume, Musk has continued his bitter crusade on Nolan’s summer blockbuster, declaring that X’s AI tool Grok Imagine ‘will make a full-length movie of The Odyssey that is historically accurate and true to the art of Homer’ by the end of the year.

Musk and his ilk have recently made a stink about the ethnicity of some of the adaptation’s cast, which Nolan has also dismissed as ‘irrelevant.’ The director has been vocal about his support for the diversity-driven casting of The Odyssey, which has been a major talking point in the film industry.

Domingo’s roast of Musk has sparked a heated debate online, with many fans taking to social media to share their thoughts on the matter. While some have come to Musk’s defense, others have sided with Domingo, calling out the billionaire for his perceived hypocrisy.

In related news, Elon Musk has faced backlash for his comments on the diversity casting of The Odyssey. The billionaire has been accused of being out of touch with the film industry and its values, with many calling for him to focus on his business ventures rather than inserting himself into the world of cinema.

As the debate rages on, it remains to be seen how this will affect the future of The Odyssey and its AI-generated adaptation. One thing is for sure, however: Colman Domingo’s roast of Elon Musk has left a lasting impression on the internet, and it’s a topic that’s unlikely to be forgotten anytime soon.
