Elon Musk has indicated he would be willing to finance a Mel Gibson adaptation of The Odyssey after responding to a viral proposal on X.

X user John Carter suggested Musk provide Gibson with a $100 million budget to produce a historically accurate adaptation of Homer’s ancient Greek epic.

“I want Elon Musk to give Mel Gibson $100 million to film an Odyssey adaptation with painstakingly historically accurate ships, armour, weapons, and casting, with all dialogue taken straight from the original poem and delivered in Homeric Greek,” Carter wrote.

Musk replied: “I’m down.”

The exchange quickly gained traction on the platform, with Musk’s response receiving more than 80,000 likes and millions of views.

Gibson has directed several acclaimed historical films, including Braveheart, Apocalypto and Hacksaw Ridge.

The discussion comes as interest in Homer’s epic has grown following the release of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, which has renewed public attention on the ancient Greek poem.

While the film has been positively reviewed, it has sparked controversy with many of its casting decisions.

For example, Kenyan-Mexican actress Lupita Nyong’o was cast as traditionally white characters Helen of Troy and her sister, Clytemnestra, in the film.

Meanwhile, transgender actor Elliot Page has a notable role as Sinon, a Greek soldier and the son of a servant of Antinou.

However, this character does not appear in the original poem and was actually borrowed from Virgil’s Aeneid and other myths.

It remains unclear whether Musk’s response was a serious commitment or simply an expression of support, and no project has been announced.

Gibson is currently working on The Resurrection of the Christ, the long-awaited sequel to his 2004 blockbuster The Passion of the Christ.

A U.S. Army First Lieutenant decided to go out with a bang and spit in the face of the Commander-in-Chief and every American who has ever thanked a service member for their sacrifice.

The Gateway Pundit has identified the man in the viral video as Patrick Kyser, who identifies as gay and says he served in the U.S. Army for 14 years.

“So today is my last day wearing this uniform, and I just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart, f*ck Donald Trump,” Kyser said in the clip.

WATCH:

Kyser accompanied the video with a caption criticizing the Trump administration’s military and foreign policy.

“In the past 14 years, I’ve heard ‘thank you for your service’ many times. The best way to show your thanks to our troops is to vote for politicians who will only put them in harm’s way when absolutely necessary. Not to serve their own egos.”

The video quickly ignited a wave of criticism online, with many users arguing that a commissioned officer should not publicly attack the Commander-in-Chief while still in uniform.

One widely shared response read:

“This Lieutenant is still subject to UCMJ even if it’s his last day in the Army. He’s a disgrace to the uniform. Dishonorable discharge & send him to Fort Leavenworth.”

Others questioned whether Kyser remained subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) at the time the video was recorded, while some defended his right to express his political views after completing his military service.

A service member remains fully subject to the UCMJ until their official military discharge process is complete and their final separation time takes effect (typically midnight on their official separation date).

So, if Patrick Kyser was still an active-duty first lieutenant when he made the video, the Army could theoretically have had jurisdiction to investigate whether the conduct violated the UCMJ.

Whether any action would actually be taken would depend on the timing, the precise facts, and the judgment of the military chain of command. If his discharge had already become effective, the UCMJ generally would no longer apply to this new conduct.

The Gateway Pundit has reached out to the Department of War for comment regarding Kyser’s viral video and whether any disciplinary action is being considered. The Gateway Pundit has also reached out to Patrick Kyser for comment.

US Central Command announced on Wednesday that US forces completed a twelfth consecutive night of attacks to degrade Iranian military capabilities.

In footage released by CENTCOM, Iranian military vehicles and boats are seen being blown up in airstrikes.

WATCH:

CENTCOM said in a statement,

At 10:30 p.m. ET on July 22, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces completed another round of strikes against Iran for the 12th consecutive night.

U.S. forces struck Iranian military targets including maritime capabilities, missile and drone storage facilities, coastal surveillance sites, and air defense assets. The strikes further degrade Iran’s ability to attack civilian mariners and commercial vessels.

This month, American forces have targeted dozens of Iranian military sites on land while resuming a blockade against Iran at sea. As of today, CENTCOM has redirected nine commercial vessels and disabled one to prevent ships from entering or departing Iranian ports.

More than 50,000 U.S. service members are operating across the Middle East and remain highly vigilant, focused, lethal, and ready.

President Trump on Wednesday issued new warnings against Iran, threatening to hit one power plant or bridge for every ship they hit in the Strait of Hormuz after Iran attacked another tanker near the coast of Oman on Tuesday.

Iran threatened to retaliate against attacks on its infrastructure by targeting a “powerful and decisive response” against infrastructure and US interests across the region. “In a region where we do not sell oil, no one will sell oil. If our security is not ensured, no infrastructure will be safe, and the security of the strait is in the absence of American forces,” Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Bagher Ghalibaf threatened in a statement.

Additionally, Yenen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebel group began targeting shipping in the Red Sea on Wednesday after imposing a naval blockade on the Bab ​el-Mandeb strait, the gateway between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden near Saudi Arabia’s western coastline.

Trump previously responded to the Houthis’ threats a day earlier, telling reporters he’ll “take care of” the Houthis if they begin attacking ships.

Sometimes, you may forget how utterly shameless Gavivin Newsom is and then he says something like this and it all comes rushing back.

The governor recently bragged, with a straight face, that California is a model for the globe on fire management and that people from all over the world look at what California is doing and try to imitate it.

During the wildfires at the end of 2024, there wasn’t even any water in the reservoirs to fight the flames. And yet, he’s bragging. It’s just amazing.

Townhall reports:

You have to admit that what Gavin Newsom lacks in brains and sound policy he makes up for in sheer hubris. That’s the only reason that Newsom could say with a straight face that his state is a global model for fire management. Perhaps that’s true in a sense; Canada was burning so much that people as far south as Virginia were seeing, smelling, and feeling the impacts.

That’s because Canada, like California, refuses to do basic fire management like clearing brush and old growth. This is nothing to brag about, of course.

But brag Newsom did.

“I can say this with absolute conviction. We don’t imitate; we’re a model for others,” Newsom said. “We have people coming from all over the United States and around the globe to look at what California is doing in orbit, in the air, and on the ground.”

Does Newsom want to brag about California’s rebuilding effort too? How many homes have been rebuilt, three? Four?

Senator John Fetterman is not impressed with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, or the song and dance that he has been doing about arresting Israeli leader Netanyahu if he comes to the city.

This week, Mamdani finally admitted what everyone already knew, that he has zero authority to make such an arrest.

During an appearance on Newsmax, Fetterman suggested that Mamdani should stick to trying to fix potholes.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN: Today, President Trump took to Truth Social and posted, in part, quote: “Benjamin Netanyahu will not be arrested in any way, shape, or form while in the United States of America. He is fighting against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which recently killed 52,000 innocent protesters and has spent the last 47 years killing American soldiers and others.”

Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman joins me. Why is Mamdani making these threats? He doesn’t even have the authority, I don’t believe, to make an arrest like this.

SEN. JOHN FETTERMAN: He’s a total clown. He has the authority to arrest Netanyahu any more than I would have the authority to arrest him if he visited Washington, D.C.

You’re a mayor, dude. Pick up trash, fix some potholes, and really fix the homeless problem in your city. You’re way out of your league. This is irresponsible.

But like I said, he’s just a total clown, and it’s just for clicks at this point. He knows that he has nothing actionable. Now it’s just pandering to the DSA communists and his friends in New York.

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN: The prime minister is expected in the United States when the U.N. General Assembly opens again in September, so he will be here. What’s interesting is that, in the past, he has been unable to refuel his plane in countries that are signatories to the International Criminal Court. So he’s been strategic in how he gets here. I think he can now come all the way here without refueling. But it is a lot of saber-rattling toward the prime minister. He is expected to be in New York soon.

SEN. JOHN FETTERMAN: It’s not even that. It’s just this cheeseball running his mouth. That’s the thing.

Again, the mayor does not direct arrests. The police enforce warrants. There is not a warrant. America is not part of the ICC.

Here’s the video:

Inject this into my veins.

Unlike many of his fellow Democrats, Fetterman has not been shy about calling out the radical left. It’s very refreshing.
