Elon Musk has doubled down on dissing Christopher Nolan‘s “The Odyssey” via new X posts and replies that mock the upcoming tentpole for casting Lupita Nyong’o and Elliot Page, the latter of whom previously worked with Nolan on “Inception.” Musk already came out swinging against “The Odyssey” in February amid rumors that Nyong’o would be playing Helen of Troy.

A new Time magazine profile of Nolan published May 12 confirmed that not only is Nyong’o playing Helen of Troy, aka the most beautiful woman in Greek mythology, but the Oscar winner has a surprise second role as Helen’s sister Clytemnestra, who is married to Agamemnon.
