Maybe he actually meant Biblically accurate? The two are quite easily confused, after all.
Also, remember DeepDream?
Like that.
I don’t use this word lightly, but Elon Musk is a fucking retard. Seriously, for the life of me, I can’t understand how this goddamn moron became a billionaire. They will be doing case studies to understand how this retard Forrest Gump’d his way into billionaire status.
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.

Ketamine melted his brain. He was always a loser but not to such an extent.
I have a feeling he wouldn’t wanna hear about Caeneus
Caeneus was originally a woman named Caenis who was transformed into a man by the sea-god Poseidon.[7] Although possibly as old as the Hesiodic Catalogue of Women (c. first half of the sixth century BC),[8] the oldest secure mention of this transformation comes from the mythographer Acusilaus (sixth to fifth century BC).

This is not oniony, this is just yet another “Elon musk says”
Elon’s breath reeks of onion, though
Oh cool. I cannot wait to see that sultry, steamy, Unicorn sex scene. And the epic hot dog eating contest that no one can stop talking about. And the cross stitch contest between the forest witches. So… many… good… memories!!!
C’mon phony stark, I know you’re in a k hole right now but let’s get you home and into bed
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
Elon Musk says
ok
The Odyssey is fictional story.
Does he think magic and giants and gods are historically accurate?What about a historically accurate version of Harry Potter?

Would you put it past him? The guy is so high most of the day he probably thinks the sparkle fairy brings him a coffee every morning.
JK Rowling is a bigoted cunt, and her content doesn’t deserve even a sliver of acknowledgement.
The bastard thinks himself as one.
I do think it’s still fair to consider the very likely possibility that there’s a fair amount of truth contained within the story though (obviously not all the supernatural stuff, but still). That’s definitely the case with the Iliad; Troy was literally discovered in modern-day Türkiye in the 1800s.
All the crazy stuff in it is probably at least in part a result of its origin as an oral tradition instead of written text. The story being passed down across generations of memorizers without any hard reference to go off of tends to make for a really long game of telephone.
None of this is to humour Musk by the way. I just think this topic is interesting in general.
New York City is a real place that exists, but that doesn’t make the Avengers films any less fictional.
I’m going off of what real historians have hypothesized, not just baseless rhetoric. Nor am I claiming that the legends themselves are wholly factual (though as I’ve said it’s definitely possible to be partly the case). Feel free to read the Wikipedia article on it and draw your own conclusions.
Personally, I think it would be absurd if it were the case that in Late Bronze Age Greece — in or around the Bronze Age Collapse — they chose Troy (evidently not even a Greek setting) specifically to be the setting of an oral war story without there being a material reason for it, however minor. But that’s just me obviously.
I mean, “the Greeks have always been at war with the Persians” was always a good rallying cry. And arguing that the Persians are descendants of Troy would probably work as propaganda
Funnily enough the harry potter movies are historically inaccurate
How can we be sure it wasn’t real.
good point and how can we be sure it didn’t go down the way christopher nolan said it did
Because American English was invented a few days later and at least two streets away.
With historically accurate cyclops, scylla, charybdis, sirens and ghost of Agamemnon…
Athena and Poseidon have dialogue
Wait till he finds out how many twinks were in the Odyssey.
Thank GOD! I HOPE he can do the Same with Avengers so we can FINALLY get a HISTORICALLY Accurate version of THAT too!
I can’t wait to see what a historically accurate cyclops looks like.

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.
Will white republican Jesus be in it too?
he would also have to “christianize” the greek gods too, like how SPN did it.
Did they replace supply-side jesus already?
