"The company is not for sale. It's another one of his tactics to try to mess with us."

"So my very basic read is Elon's offer isn't serious."

"Musk and his legal team's insistence that the offer is real should keep it in the headlines for a while, but I’m still skeptical of their story."

"We don't expect any meaningful discussions to develop."

"Elon's offer to purchase the OpenAI nonprofit for $97.4billion isn't going to happen."

"It's time for OpenAI to return to the open-source, safety-focused force for good it once was. We will make sure that happens."

Will Elon Musk Buy OpenAI?

Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" earned $264 million globally in its opening weekend, marking the director's biggest worldwide debut, surpassing "The Dark Knight Rises" $249 million global launch in 2012. The film also set a record as Universal's highest weekend launch for an R-rated movie.

Elon Musk posted on X on July 22, 2026, that his AI tool Grok Imagine would produce a full-length adaptation of Homer's "The Odyssey" by the end of the year, describing the planned film as "historically accurate and true to the art of Homer."

In a separate post, Musk endorsed a proposal for director Mel Gibson to receive $100 million to film an Odyssey adaptation with historically accurate ships, armor and weapons, with all dialogue drawn from the original poem and spoken in Homeric Greek.

After Musk's announcement, Grok's own chatbot assessed the odds of completing a full-length, historically accurate Odyssey film by Dec. 31, 2026, as low, citing the technical challenges of scaling to a coherent 90-plus minutes with narrative continuity.

Musk had criticized Nolan's casting of Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy and reacted to reports that transgender actor Elliot Page might play Achilles. Page appears in the film as Sinon, a Greek soldier linked in classical mythology to the Trojan Horse deception.

Nolan responded to casting criticism by saying the backlash "comes with the territory" and that pre-release debates are "always irrelevant" because those involved have not yet seen the film. Nyong'o told Elle magazine she was "not spending my time thinking of a defense."
