Elon Musk Is Compared to a Dictator in Luca Guadagnino’s New Movie
New details about Luca Guadagnino’s Artificial movie, including what role Elon Musk will play in the film, have been revealed.
It was announced last month that Guadagnino will direct a movie about OpenAI for Amazon MGM Studios. The film will revolve around the period at the artificial intelligence company in 2023 that saw CEO Sam Altman fired and rehired in a handful of 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?
According to Puck, Elon Musk’s role as an “early OpenAI investor turned bitter rival” is explored in the film, though it is not yet clear who will play him.

At one point, Murati says of Musk: ‘Elon’s not so bad, as far as dictators go.’”
Puck also reports that Artificial, which was written by Simon Rich, centers more on Ilya Sutskever than it does on Altman.
“The film, which begins rehearsals next week in Italy, with a planned 2026 release, is actually the story ofIlya Sutskever, the idealistic and naive Israeli machine learning engineer (played byAnorabreakoutYura Borisov) who co-founded the nonprofit. After several key breakthroughs, as depicted in the script, Sutskever is leveraged, marginalized, and ultimately betrayed by both his power-hungry friend Altman and the larger Silicon Valley community — with potentially disastrous consequences for all of humanity.”
It is worth noting that Puck got this information after reading a “recent draft” of the Artificial script; meaning there could still be edits that are made, given that the movie is not yet in production.
