Colman Domingo slammed Elon Musk‘s plan for an AI-generated version of “The Odyssey.”

“By historically accurate, he means whiter than Christmas at Cracker Barrel,” Domingo joked during his stint as guest host on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Wednesday night. “Of course, this is all because Elon and his Musketeers are upset over the diversity casting of ‘The Odyssey.'”

Domingo centered much of his opening monologue on Musk, who vowed that before the end of the year, his AI tool Grok “will make a full-length movie of The Odyssey that is historically accurate and true to the art of Homer.” Musk also shared a three-minute clip of an AI-generated scene adapted from the poem, which was manufactured by a user on Grok.
