Can you believe it?” amplified a message from a now-suspended account.

We take copyright infringement seriously and will pursue all appropriate remedies to protect our content and intellectual property rights.” Beyond piracy, X owner Elon Musk has been vocal with his opinions on the Christopher Nolan movie, insulting casting choices in particular, writing, “Who specifically is the asshole who added DEI lies to Academy Awards eligibility instead of it just being about making the best movie?” Musk then said his AI tool Grok Imagine would make a “historically accurate” version of the film to release this year.
