‘Musk has been bemoaning N’yongo’s casting for months. The manchild mogul, as well as conservative pundit Matt Walsh, recently griped that it’s unfair that N’yongo, who is of Kenyan and Mexican descent, was cast as the most beautiful woman in ancient Greece — because, they argued, actor Sydney Sweeney would never be cast as “the most beautiful woman in Africa.” Back in February, Musk accused Nolan, whose last film, “Oppenheimer,” won Best Picture, of losing his “integrity.”

N’yong’o didn’t comment directly on Musk’s reaction to her casting, but her response centered on a simple fact about the source material. “This is a mythological story,” she reminded her interviewer for Elle. “Our cast is representative of the world. I’m not spending my time thinking of a defense. The criticism will exist whether I engage with it or not.”…’ (David Moye via HuffPost)
