Tesla CEO Elon Musk has taken aim at Christopher Nolan once again.
On the 13th, American conservative critic Matt Walsh posted on social media, “No one in the world thinks Lupita Nyong’o is the most beautiful woman. However, Director Christopher Nolan made this choice because he knew he would be labeled a racist if he gave the role to a white woman. Nolan is a technically brilliant director, but he is also a coward.”
The criticism is directed at Lupita Nyong’o, who will play the dual roles of Helen, considered the most beautiful woman in Greek mythology, and her sister Clytemnestra in Christopher Nolan’s new film ‘Odyssey’. While fans have been sharing various opinions regarding the casting of Lupita Nyong’o, Elon Musk added fuel to the fire by replying “True” to the post.
Musk further claimed that “Director Nolan cast people of color just to win awards.”
This isn’t the first time Elon Musk has expressed dissatisfaction with the casting of ‘Odyssey’. Back in February, a netizen posted that Homer described Helen as having “fair skin and blonde hair, with a face so beautiful it could start a war,” and that casting Nyong’o “damages and insults the value of the original work.” Musk agreed with the sentiment, stating, “Nolan has lost his authenticity.”
