Elon Musk would not have been looked upon kindly by anyone from star trek. Maybe Quark... but even then I'm sure he'd be shaking his head with a "143rd rule of acquisition: never let ego interfere with profits".

Even the antagonists would hate him for being so clumsy and amateurish in his evil.

'The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives. We work to better ourselves and the rest of humanity.'

• Professor Charles Xavier

I highly doubt he has ever sat through an episode of Trek. Well maybe he watched some Discovery. At any rate he is simply saying this because there is a public perception of Trek being nerdy and intelligent which fits his brand the the public persona he tried to cultivate, and its a show that stoked his ego once before.

I'll bet his favorite episode is DS9 S4E16 where O'Brian and the Ferengi start a union to protest against Quarks unfair business practices.

it is probably because of that episode in which he is compared to Zefram Cochrane or the Wright brothers. Must have been good for his ego.

What I found funny is that Lorca come from the mirror universe, it makes sense that Musk would be idolized there.

This feels like Quark saying "I love the Federation!"

The Muskrat probably thinks this guy is right:

He just says that because he got name dropped.

Who the fuck cares. He also wears pants. Stop caring.

Something, something, broken clock…

His behaviour more like a colony villain than anything remotely positive in the Star Trek world.

We don't want you Elon.

All I can imagine now is Trekkies desperately talking up Star Wars around Musk to get him to haunt a different franchise.

He thought this was a serious account, and loved it.

I'll bet his favorite episode is DS9 S4E16 where O'Brian and the Ferengi start a union to protest against Quarks unfair business practices.

Are we the baddies?

Oh no please don't say that he'll bring the Muskites here; hopefully the fact it's federated/not Twitter will keep them away

Leave no one wants you here mr muskrat

See Brock acquire. Acquire, Brock, acquire!
