Elon Musk apparently mad Christopher Nolan ignored his casting opinion on 'The Odyssey'
It is not the first time Elon Musk has taken potshots at 'The Odyssey' casting choice
Elon Musk previously warned Christopher Nolan not to cast Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy in The Odyssey.
In his view, it would be "an insult" to Homer – the ancient Greek poet who wrote the classic.
He said the poet described Helen as “fair skinned, blonde, and ‘the face that launched a thousand ships’ because she was so beautiful that men started a war over her."
But when the casting of Nyong’o was confirmed as Helen of Troy and also in the second role as Helen's sister Clytemnestra.
The Tesla boss is presumably furious.
Irked by the Nolan's decision, Musk took to X – where he is the owner – and shared his views publicly on Matt Walsh's post.
The conservative firebrand wrote, "Not one person on the planet actually thinks that Lupita Nyong’o is ‘the most beautiful woman in the world.'"
'But Christopher Nolan knows that he would be called racist if he gave the 'most beautiful woman’ role to a white woman. Nolan is technically talented but a coward.”
Musk, in a one-word reply, wrote, "True."
However, Nyong'o was not the only casting choice Musk is seemingly mad about.
Elliot Page is another.
The actor, who is transgender, is also tapped into the ensemble cast of The Odyssey.
Nolan, on his part, recently defended his various choices in The Odyssey, which will arrive in cinemas on July 17.
