This is copium imo, for a few reasons. Mirror universe logic would mean that musk isn't necessarily bad like he is in our universe. More importantly, no one in the show who was not in the mirror universe thought it was weird. Then there's this: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Musk_Junior_High_School as well as a number of other very lib parts of discovery.
This is true, I did not say mirror musk was definitely good. Just that while your headcanon can be whatever you want, it really doesn't make sense in the context of the show for this to have been a slip up of someone from the mirror universe trying to blend in. From a storytelling standpoint, we as the audience have no idea who mirror elon musk was, and it wasn't treated like a strange remark, and the show does nothing to establish that the other characters see musk other than a hero or at least major historical figure that greatly impacted technology and space travel and is viewed in a generally positive light.
You're forgetting it's accidentally based because

The person referencing Musk is from the Mirror Universe

Mirror Universe doesn't necessarily mean everyone flips their alignment, Miles is a decent dude in both realities.

this is my head canon - dropping :melon-musk: name was a clue that he came from the mirror universe
Ohhhhh for real?
Yeah. That was the big plot twist for the second half of the season's story arc.
Lmao
If they got paid by Elon to put this in without him knowing it was a fascist character saying it, that's actually amazing
:picard-pointing:
