## Resource

Elon Musk has unveiled plans for Grok to produce a feature-length, AI-generated film of 'The Odyssey' before year-end. Musk promises historical accuracy. This comes amidst ongoing outrage over a separate 'Odyssey' production, which controversially cast Lupita Nyong'o and Elliot Page. Despite the social media storm, that film has seen no notable box office suffering. Signal Stream is tracking whether Grok's AI epic will face similar scrutiny or a different fate.
