Elon Musk Will Give Mel Gibson $100M To Remake 'The Odyssey' Without Wokeness | Hollywood in PANIC

A lot of banger tweets have been sent about the Odyssey, but this one wins the award for the most banger tweet about the Odyssey from Matt Walsh. In Apocalypto, Mel Gibson transports you into the mind of a Mayan 500 years ago. In The Northmen, Robert Eggers transports you into the mind of a Viking 1,000 years ago. And in The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan transports you into the mind of a liberal woman in 2017. The message of Nolan's Odyssey is to be kind, process your guilt, listen to women, and know when to step aside. Eat, pray, sail. Progressive director makes a film set in ancient Greece, doesn't cast a single Greek, the cast is as diverse as downtown LA. Racist director makes a film set in pre-colonial Mexico, only hires indigenous actors, have them all speak Mayan. Apocalypto is a masterpiece, as is Passion of the Christ, where the actors learned Aramaic. And of course, Mel Gibson cast people that looked like they were living in Jerusalem and Israel in the time of Christ. Critically important when it comes to the suspension of disbelief and being immersed in a world, right? When you're directing something, it's just having Elliot Page and Peter Longyong as like the most beautiful women or the strongest men in the world, as warriors or beauties. It's subversive. It's intended to insult you. Greek people are insulted, by the way. And so is Elon Musk, who has been banging on about the Odyssey constantly on X, saying that he can't stand the casting. And the reason that Nolan did it is obviously subversion, but also to get an Oscar. And you have to tick all these boxes. You would never be able to make an accurate Odyssey if you wanted to win an Oscar, which is insane. Low-key racist or high-key racist, actually. Somebody asked yesterday on X, I want Elon Musk to give Mel Gibson $100 million to film an Odyssey adaptation with painstakingly historical, accurate ships, armor, weapons, casting, and all of the dialogue taken straight from the original poem and delivered in Homeric Greek. Elon Musk says, I will do it. I'm down. I'll help. I have dozens of dollars to throw at this. We can make a full competition here, Grok versus Mel Gibson. No pressure. Well, Elon Musk is out sharing, but he also wants to make a Grok version of this. Before the year ends, Grok imagine we'll have a full-length movie, The Odyssey, historically accurate and true art of Homer. So this isn't a crazy idea, actually. Mel Gibson is a very, very accomplished director. He produced and directed the single most financially viable movie in Hollywood history at the time. The most successful R-rated movie in Hollywood history, which would be The Passion of the Christ, made $610 million worldwide. And I think he's going to make a billion dollars with his Resurrection of the Christ 1 and 2. It had a teeny minuscule budget, and it made nearly three quarters of a billion dollars. Braveheart, which was released in 1995, of course, adjusting for inflation, is also a massive hit, a billion-dollar hit. It made $213 million. And so, obviously, Mel Gibson would be great at this. His film, Apocalypto, also painstakingly historically accurate, down to the casting, the language being used, full and total immersion, and a remarkable way to effectively time travel back to the Mayan era in the Yucatan Peninsula right before the Spanish arrived, as the Spanish arrived, actually. One of the greatest scenes in all film, actually, is the Spanish arriving there. This is how we win. Elon Musk says he's down to fund Mel Gibson with $100 million to make a historically accurate depiction of The Odyssey. So here's this account. HeavyPult has done great work, and they do incredible AI work. I encourage you to follow them. This is what you might be getting for the AI version of The Odyssey. What's awesome? Seven years I have kept you here. Weep no more, I am letting you go. Build your raft. Be free. AI is so good, man. It's insane. You mean some other thing. Not my passage. Swear it. What a schemer you are. By Styx itself, I mean no harm to you. Then at first light, I cut the timber. Or stay. Keep this house. Be ageless. Forever. Is she worth all this grief? Your Penelope. I am not less than her. And still, every day, all I want is home. My wife. My own halls. I know you can understand that. At least I think you can. Please just come out of the sun. One more night under my roof. Okay. So, so good. It's better than, honestly, better than the clips that I've seen of Christopher Nolan. I haven't gone to go see Christopher Nolan's Odyssey because I'm not going to give them money. By buying a ticket, they win. So I'm not going to do that, right? It's incredible. Elon Musk says he's down to go film The Odyssey, a movie directed and written by Mel Gibson. Do you know this wouldn't be the first movie that he's financed? He funded Thank You for Smoking, starring Aaron Eckert, which is one of my all-time favorite movies. If you haven't seen it, you have to go get it. Aaron Eckert, Peter Thiel, I think David Sacks all funded it as well. Oh, it's a great movie about how DC actually works. It's incredible. Now he's going to save Hollywood. What a legend. Amazing. Elon Musk has already made movies like Citizen Vigilante, which he shared, and they took the link down after 48 hours, obviously, that he did with permission. He's shared and produced that. It was seen by, well, let's go ahead and check the numbers, actually. 25 million people. 25 million people. Have there been that many people that bought tickets to go sit and see The Odyssey? No, actually. The Odyssey was seen by something like 10.5 million people. Technically, seen by more people here on Elon Musk's ex-account is a movie that they tried to ban in Europe. Musk boosts controversial film, which sees Vigilante target immigrant criminals. Now, ladies and gentlemen, I got to tell you, with the amount of cope that they're doing with The Odyssey, the amount of anger that Elon Musk has, shame on Chris Nolan for desecrating Homer. He will never live it down, says Elon Musk. He's angry about this. Elon Musk saying that he's going to make his own Odyssey. That'd be amazing. You can just do things. I wonder what Rotten Tomatoes would do. I wonder if Rotten Tomatoes would rig the rating system for Elon Musk's Odyssey. They did it with The Odyssey. That was out. It woke Odyssey. It's out right now. Again, I'm not going to go see it. The point is to get another ticket. The point is to... Every right-wing chud on this site did infinity clickbait on The Odyssey and how much they were going to hate it and the casting decisions and stuff, and then went and paid $40 or $100 to go see it in 70 millimeter. I actually know how expensive those tickets are. Some of those tickets are like $250 to go see a movie. They went and did it so they can go squee about it. Some of them even came back being like, it's amazing. Shut up. Shut up. They win. They win. This is how we win, ladies and gentlemen. Make your own things build. No one better than Elon Musk to do that. It's your boy Benny. Like, share, and subscribe. See you.
