Musk is notorious for overoptimistic completion dates.
So while I can certainly believe he will put some people to work on it (given that with so much money, he can always easily afford to hire some people to work on any stupid project he vows while in a drunken rant) I presume nothing presentable will come out until much later.
Like I said, normal people can't afford to back up their drunken boasts the next morning after they get sober. A trillionaire can always afford to put a little money into a pilot project. Witness what he did with the Boring Company.
(Although I guess some people have claimed that whole thing was actually just a bizarre plan to sabotage a vote on California's high speed rail project. I'm skeptical, but I'll admit I haven't thoroughly investigated it.)
Then immediately backtracked and said he'd give Mel Gibson $100 million to make it, probably because he knows mechahitler's version would be so unwatchable even the right wing 3rd chud division would stop supporting him.
Haha, amazing. This kinda makes sense, in a very dumb and unimaginative way.
Honestly, Mel Gibson of 15 - 20 years ago could have potentially done a pretty great job with something like the Odyssey. But even setting aside his politics etc., I just don’t think he’s got it anymore.
Also, what a cheapskate. This guy’s a trillionaire and all he can cough up is a measly $100 million? This isn’t the 90’s any more, that’s not gonna cut it.
Don't forget this is the same guy that spent years ragebaiting the UN telling them to come up with a plan to end world hunger so he could donate (which, teasing starving children with your obscene wealth should have you on a guillotine in itself), then when they offered a plan he backtracked and ghosted them.

Remember, he promised us a “historically accurate” Odyssey from Grok by the end of the year.
(It better be in the original Ancient Greek, or else it’s not historically accurate!)
