Musk's AI Odyssey debuts as seven-minute episode to harsh reviews

• The episode drew over 7.9 million views on X by Wednesday
• Production took under two weeks and cost tens of thousands of dollars
• Nolan's film cost $250 million and grossed $1.8 billion
• A Guardian critic gave the episode one star
