Elon Musk Sparks Woke War Over Nolans Casting

has accused of casting and actor in his upcoming Greek epic The Odyssey because 'he wants the awards.'

The 54-year-old billionaire has taken to social media to weigh in on disturbing posts questioning Nyong'o’s beauty as a Black woman and 'denying' Page’s masculinity ahead of the July 17 premiere of The Odyssey.

In a new Time Magazine profile of Nolan published Tuesday, the director revealed that 43-year-old Nyong'o will play Helen of Troy on the big screen, the most beautiful woman in Greek mythology.

She was also announced to have a second role in the highly anticipated film, portraying Helen’s sister, Clytemnestra, who is married to Agamemnon. 

Conservative commentator Matt Walsh immediately took to X to insult Nyong'o, writing: 'Not one person on the planet actually thinks that Lupita Nyong'o is "the most beautiful woman in the world."'

'But Christopher Nolan knows that he would be called racist if he gave 'the most beautiful woman' role to a white woman,' he added. 

'Nolan is technically talented but a coward. Too afraid to do anything that even slightly challenges the spirit of the age.'

The Tesla chief responded to Walsh’s comment with a simple: 'True.'

In another post, a user asked: 'Why is Christopher Nolan like so many other directors so keen to race swap white characters?' Musk replied, 'He wants the awards.'

Walsh shared another post in which he claimed people would be 'driven to murderous violence' if Sydney Sweeney had been cast in a film as 'the most beautiful woman in Africa.'
