Still don't know how anyone takes him seriously. Musk stans are the worst
I'll never forgive Kurtzman and Fuller for making Musk Star Trek canon in Discovery.
They doubled down as well. They gave him a fucking High School in season 2. Dogshit show.
Anyway, how can Musk be canon if DIS isn't taps head
I was willing to give DISCO a 'not for me but other people like it's pass but not anymore. At least we have Lower Decks
There's a bunch of models of spaceships you can unlock for your captain's quarters just like the old games, but some of them are Space X ships that I seem to remember came with vaguely fawning data logs. Not that game's worst crime but still pretty shit.
Referencing a psychopathic ghoul like Musk as though he were a distinguished historical figure was an early hint that Lorca had a messed up Terran worldview that he couldn't quite hide perfectly, the crew should have sensed something was wrong
Musk is 100% the kind of person who would have participated in the Eugenics War. Hopefully he died in it.
Do you guys think this maniac understands the sway he has over his legion of stans? I mean these people are so horny to play out their space fantasies that they just turn a blind eye to any bit of criticism regarding Musk. Lot is made about fundamentalists amongst various religious sects, but this sociopath and his ilk seem especially dangerous when it comes to the next few decades
I've only ever had one interaction with a Musk/Tesla stan in my life, and I came away with it completely fucking creeped out

Yes. This is no way on earth his cult following is a fully natural occurrence. This appears to be a growing trend of the oligarchy - especially as the long-term reliability of monetary and legal systems becomes questionable. These cult followings are actively cultivated. They are an investment.
For people like Elon, Trump, Gates, etc. this seems obvious to me, but to put on my tinfoil hat for a moment, some of the more strange phenomena like Reddit's obsession with Keanu Reeves strike me as similar propaganda strategies which for one reason or another spun off the rails completely. Then there are the oligarchs like Jeff Bezos or Peter Thiel who are either too toxic to meme, or just never bothered hiring a good firm.
If you've got Elon or Bezos money though, you can spend a hundred million dollars a year just to run a think tank designed to make people think you're good. It won't even make a dent in your wallet. If anything, it will make you more rich and powerful.
The stans I can handle. I find it kind of funny that they take a personal slight when you slag lord Elon. It's the passive neoliberal types who can't see Elon's grift because of their own blind faith in the system, and then treat you like you are shitting on a guy who is 'just trying to do some good in the world' that drive me a little nuts.
In 2034, Venus will be on the path to Mars from Earth, so we could perhaps... mutiny onboard SpaceX and jettison Elon Musk onto Venus without having to change course. This option is also good because it raises no suspicion and he won't just be mindlessly floating in space, possibly bringing "down" another spacecraft that might crash into him at 100,000s of km/h. Since he loves the free market so much, let him figure out a solution to survive a rapid entry into what is basically Satan's arsehole.
The only drawback is Mars ends up being 370 million kilometers away on a direct route, near its furthest distance from Earth. Like so: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2451271376

Try SpaceEngine (there's a free version) and fiddle with the time and turn on orbital paths. I fast forwarded to the 2030s and while Mars was a wee bit far, Venus ended up being halfway on course to Mars from Earth.

I'd hire Dr No to make rocket fall down but you've already got that angle covered.
This isn't worse than I thought. It's just exactly what I thought
Nothing makes me cringe more than the brief period in 2014 where I thought he was cool.
Nothing wrong with thinking solar electrification and space tech is cool. The man is a giant walking billboard for himself, and advertising works. Lots of people got suckered.
The modern day Elon Sickos are the folks that watched him go further and further up his own asshole and still think he's worth idolizing.
