I would like to be in the room filming him as he makes these insane prompts to grok while he’s in a khole. Could probably make a really good doc like hearts of darkness out of it.
The Odyssey is a work of fiction. It’s a heroic epic, not a history. How do you make a historically accurate version of fictional oral poetry?
Well you see he’s stupid and can’t tell the difference between fiction and reality
Hire a historian to give a no-nonsense talk about the history of ideas Homer used. Believers in Greek gods and countries mentioned were definitely real. We don’t know nearly as much about them as Homer did but we know Odysseus wouldn’t encounter supernatural beings and can conjecture what these themes were inspired by.
We don’t know nearly as much about them as Homer did
True, the man truly had vision.
There’s nobody better than a blind man to write historically about the hue of a person’s skin.
It is also speculated by historians that Homer wasn’t just one person but in fact entire industry of people whose job it was to tell stories.
Um, the Odyssey is fiction. It literally can’t be “historically accurate”.
It’s a dog whistle for casting only white people and no queer actors. If something has a racist angle, assume that’s the one Musk means
Ah yes, the famously pale ancient Greeks who definitely only engaged in the “correct” kinds of relationships.
If he isn’t an actual fucking idiot, he’s a premium rate actor.
(Looks at the history of Musk in the public eye)
I’m gonna say it’s the idiot one. All the moron had to do was keep his mouth shut and keep paying to buy the founder title of other market disruptors and he’d’ve been the next Henry Ford (literal nazi that Americans remember fondly cause he was “pro-labor” (threw labor a bone to disrupt union efforts))
Instead, we now all know he’s an evil idiot with an ego problem.
TL;DR; Narcissistic emotionally stunted manchild acts out to get attention because he can’t figure out why he isn’t getting the respect or adoration he clearly deserves.
And any attention is better than none.
Im not sure that’s all idiocy though.
It’s certainly a large helping of narcissism and hubris.
Nepo-lucking your way up enough to mingle with the other amoral arseholes probably requires some skill of a kind.
It could just be trolling, he’s certainly rich enough and that gives him a layer of protection in the current capitalist societal structure that’s thick enough he can pretty much just be a 24/7 dick and there will be zero effective consequences.
I personally think he’s got in to a position where he can have basically whatever he wants except the things he actually would like to have.
He’s a boring, lonely, sad child of middling intellect and can’t figure out why the things he does doesn’t get him the things he needs/wants.
So he escalates, and lashes out, because he can and its his only form of communication.
Like a crying toddler with big feelings, they can’t articulate the problem so they cry and scream until someone else figures they need food and a hug.
Except his tantrums kill people and ruin lives.
If he was an idiot that might go a ways to explaining the continual inability to just not be a dick to everyone, all the time.
But I think it’s worse than that, i think he’s choosing to continue being a dick, as a way of proving to himself he still has an effect on the world , not the respect, acceptance or adoration he wants, but still, something.

Ancient Greeks, ancients Sparta in particular, was gay as f.
Grok probably told him it’s a true story, and he believed it
Shh… He’s on katamine. You’re going to ruin his trip.
what next ? historically accurate Star Wars ?
I get what you’re saying, but maybe that’s a bad example. I actually do want them to release a historically accurate version of Star Wars… ie. the version that was released in 1977 in which Han Solo shot first and there wasn’t a bunch of CGI shit all over the place.
Star wars silver screen edition. Look it up, it’s out there. It’s like a 25 GB download but you can find it.
Bunch of fans got a hold of original film print of the movie and digitized it. No remastering, just the movie as it was presented in 1977.
Well that exists! Sure not quite officially, but look up project 4K77, you can download that version of Star wars right now (and it’s awesome. I’ve watched all three of them in their most original version)
Yeah I got the despecialized edition and it’s fine. It’s weird that you have to pirate one the most popular movies to be shown in the theater to get what was shown in the theater.
Han Solo shot
firstonly.Han straight up ended greedo. Bug-eyed bastard never even got a shot off.
Well yeah, Greedo didn’t shoot. Because Han Solo shot first. I don’t think it needs to be stated that Han Solo wouldn’t miss at a range that close.
With historically accurate cyclops, scylla, charybdis, sirens and ghost of Agamemnon…
Athena and Poseidon have dialogue
Melting shit candle makes plopping noises that sound like words
Why are we okay with every robin hood movie being an interpretation, but all the sudden the oddesy needs to be historically perfect?
Because racism
And because “ewwww trans person.”
It’s all just so pathetic.
“This person doesn’t have the correct generalia” ??? They are fools
Evidently Lupida isn’t beautiful enough to be Helen even as she is one of the prettiest women alive.
Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy? First I’ve heard of it, but she’s gorgeous, and a very talented actor. I think she’s a good choice.
I haven’t seen it but I bet she did a great job, as always
That’s only true if you’re not a racist piece of trash, so…
They’d like everyone to look like, I don’t know, Bruce bailaban, Lucy lawless, some third thing, or hells forbid another space commerce gremlin. It’s important for the sex scenes to have the right amounts of nips and penes.
I would not mind everybody looking like Lucy Lawless.
Especially in her Xena days. What a queen.
i dunno. she ages like the finest of wines
Elon will run his mouth for a while, then forget about this.
He will never follow through.
nono it will come any day now, just like hyper loop and self driving car
Yeah still waiting for his video game company lol
Elon Musk says
ok
Removed by mod
Like if you look at how most billionaires since the 80s came into being its almost entirely one strategy:
-
start with a decent pile of money
-
Put the money pile on a stock market bet
-
Manipulate the stock price by lying, cheating, stealing or making a popular product.
Elon musk is some kind of idiot-savant in manipulating stock prices and then diverting a maximal amount of money away from material product creation. His “money taken” to “physical product created” ratio is just modestly better than elizabeth holmes.
There is a larger discussion to be had of whether we should allow society to give people that level of power because they’re good at marketing and backroom dealing. Especially since the entire reason we created the entire stock market system was in theory to build more popular products, not to reward skilled stock market manipulators.
Its sort of salt in the wound that the material value of most of elon’s companies and products are largely dwarfed by the amount of money musk has been awarded by the government.
Society would probably have been better served by spinning up state owned electric car factories and state owned satellite delivery systems because we could have gotten all the same benefits for a fraction of the price we paid for it and are continuing to pay for.

I do think his emotional growth was retarded or completely stopped around the ages of 10-14 years old. It’s a valid use of the word in his case.
Ketamine melted his brain. He was always a loser but not to such an extent.
This has nothing to do with me yet you are insulting me and others who have nothing to do with this. Fuck you, too, if you’re going to be abusive to random strangers.
Life’s gonna be hard if you internalize everything you read and hear as a personal attack. Grow up.
he should buy memphis the water treatment plant he promised so grok can stop using AQUIFER DRINKING WATER for cooling.
fuck elon i hope he gets pancreatic cancer and 4 flat tires on his ride home.
Damn that is brutal
No, it’s not brutal enough.
I can’t wait to see a historically accurate Polyphemus.
It was just a midget with poor eyesight.
I can’t wait to see what a historically accurate cyclops looks like.
John Goodman
Came here looking for a reference to Oh Brother. I call this a win for the day.
Who plays Odysseus? Someone with a beautiful head of hair I hope.
How is this a “threat”? What would be the dire consequences if he did?
“Offers” is the right word here.
Threatens is funnier tho.
You’re right. I missed that. I took this too seriously.
He’s threatening to unleash such trash onto the world.
Not enough gay sex, I’m guessing?
