Elon Musk Is Compared to a Dictator in Luca Guadagnino’s New Movie

Information on Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming film, Artificial, has come to light, shedding some insight on Elon Musk’s part in the storyline.

Last month, it was revealed that Guadagnino is set to helm a movie on OpenAI, produced by Amazon MGM Studios. This film will center around the turbulent time at the artificial intelligence company in 2023 when CEO Sam Altman experienced a rapid cycle of dismissal and reinstatement within just a few days.

The cast of the movie includes Andrew Garfield, Monica Barbaro, and Yura Borisov.

What do we know about Elon Musk’s role in Luca Guadagnino’s new movie?

The movie delves into Elon Musk’s early involvement with OpenAI and his subsequent transformation into a fierce adversary, as portrayed by Puck. However, it remains undecided who will be cast to play him.

The article mentions that he’s a minor character, and after attempting to integrate OpenAI with Tesla, withdrawing his investment when met with resistance. Elon, who is equally known for his fondness for movies and lawsuits, may not appreciate this depiction – the same can be said about his AI project, Grok, which has no pro-Hitler references in the script. Murati, at one point, describes Musk as: “Elon’s not so bad, compared to other dictators.

In addition, Puck mentions that the novel “Artificial” by Simon Rich focuses more on the character of Ilya Sutskever rather than Altman.

As a gamer, I’m excited to share that next week, a film set in Italy will kick off rehearsals, slated for release in 2026. This movie isn’t just any tale; it follows the journey of Ilya Sutskever, portrayed by the talented Yura Borisov (who made waves as Anora). Ilya is an Israeli machine learning engineer, full of idealism and innocence, who co-founded a nonprofit.

In this story, we see Ilya’s groundbreaking advancements in AI technology, only to find himself used, sidelined, and eventually deceived by his ambitious friend Altman, as well as the Silicon Valley community. The consequences of these actions could potentially have dire repercussions for all mankind.

It’s important to mention that Puck obtained the details following a “newly written version” of the screenplay, which implies potential further changes since the film has yet to commence production.
