Eh. There are a bunch of other references to him even after Lorca returns to his universe. For example Tilly was on musk high school iirc.
I don’t think I was ever more ashamed and disappointed of trek than when they whipped out those lines, billionaire worship in a show about a socialist utopia. A fucking embarrassment
I’m with you on this. I actually think it speaks to something Disco kinda didn’t do well on … being a bit to mindful of its real life present.
Like the Stacey Abrams thing. I’m sure some loved it but I think many are very fair in asking Trek to not be so directly connected to the real world like that. If she wanted to be on the show … cool … I think the Voyager style cameos were done well where they weren’t really central to the scene but were just there and you’d be forgiven to not notice … more of an easter egg than something central (even if for only a moment).
I’d forgotten all about these Musk references but boy have they unnecessarily aged and tarnished the show in retrospect, and, honestly, made the writers look a bit too much like influencers trying to get engagement with their writing than focusing on the core philosophies, values and story telling.
