Elon Musk wrote these four words on X on October 4, 2026, quote-posting The Clodyssey, the second music video that the X user anabology made with Claude agents. Six days earlier he had shared the first, Escape Velocity, saying he had felt the AGI. The new post drew more than 16,000 likes. “SI” stands for superintelligence; slopcore is the name the scene gave to AI-made music videos that announce their AI origin instead of hiding it.
The endorsement is notable for who gave it. Musk runs xAI, whose chatbot Grok competes with Claude, and in both films Claude did most of the work – research, lyrics, storyboard and animation – while anabology made the calls of taste. Six days later, speaking by video link at a fan event in Texas, Musk proposed calling the genre “awesomecore” instead, a suggestion that drew ridicule online.
The irony fits the film. The Clodyssey is a song about superpersuasion – an AI Siren whose song moves the listener’s p(doom) down and then up again – and one of the most powerful people in technology answered it with a declaration of love. Whether that shows the persuasion working or simply a good song, the film leaves to its audience.
