the character who references Musk is a mirror universe evil doppelganger. Him admiring Musk is one of several clues that he’s evil.

Full disclosure, I’ve not seen discovery. Didn’t want to pay for paramount+ and now that I know more about the general plot, I’m not interested. Same thing for most of the new shows.
Is there a reference to Elon Musk in one of the newer Star Treks or something?
In star trek discovery, one of the characters puts him on the level of Wright brothers and Zefram Cochrane.
😬
I can imagine Elon paying for this. I’m not saying he did, but I can imagine it.

Love me some lower decks though.
You could read it as clever, if you want to be really kind. However, I don’t think anywhere near that much thought went into Discovery.
