It astounds and amazes me that there was a time Elon could have feasibly been considered a smart, level-headed entrepreneur. The whole submarine thing with the trapped kids really was the beginning of his unraveling. I for one thank Elon Musk for proving once and for all to even the most shameless corpo-apologists that having a ton of money doesn’t magically make you smart or cool. The dude’s an idiot, and I love watching him self-destruct.
At one point they even had him cameo in iron man, and had him name dropped on star trek as a pioneer of human discovery. People used to jerk off to this dude’s PR image like he was a real life Tony Stark.
If he stayed off Twitter he’d have a pretty impressive CV. Mainstream electric cars, actually usable Satellite Internet, Major Solar Panels etc. Even weird shit like Hyperloop would just be random neat things.
Putting aside that that whole show is pretty rough and I’ve mentally decanonized it, the guy who said it is technically a mega space nazi from the space nazi dimension so I choose to believe he just thought that Musk being an aspiring space nazi was as cool in our universe as it was in his.

He admitted hyperloop was complete bullshit he pushed just to try to sideline California’s high speed rail.
Wonderful. The bar keeps going lower doesn’t it?
He’s mentioned in star trek discovery as if he took us to mars. Those lines aged so poorly

Truth.
I prefer to pretend that they’re talking about another person named Musk, one of his many kids perhaps…
Or the story is happening in the other better timeline.
When he called the submarine expert a pedo was when I started to go, “Is this guy being for real?”
Same. I actually looked up to him before that.
