They didn't say which part of StarTrek.
Y'all think they are talking about Starfleet, but they are talking about making that Hitler planet.

I'm guessing it'll be less Star Trek and more The Expanse - corporations owning everything and no public civic positions.
They just heard "Eugenics Wars" and got a little too excited
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!
Kegsbreath and Space Karen are probably the two most tone deaf, incomprehensibly incompetent individuals that I've ever known. This is just more proof of how absolute bellends with no critical thinking skills can fail upward and cause untold damage; yet defying all odds, they still reach positions of power that unlock their ability to cause massive amounts of damage. Fucking wild.

How do I gargle Trump's balls without drowning in his flatulent shit filled diapers?
Use an airplane.
I'm actually fairly confident they do recall and know exactly what the title / phrase connotates.
It's too on the nose to be accidental.
You think these are people of culture?
They may be on to something, the world war which led to Zefram Cochrane's warp drive and first contact was started in 2026.
Star Trek but without the show's lessons....isn't that basically just the Dominion from DS9?
Look, I want Jeffrey Combs as Secretary of War.
And also Secretary of Treasury
Why stop there? Jeffrey Combs can be the entire cabinet.
Am I misremembering, didnt Musk get name-dropped in a star trek show?
He got name-dropped in Discovery. Not exactly something to boast about.
That's the one, thanks for confirming.
Yes, unfortunately. It said he was a great, compared with other greats.

Lucky for those in the know, that came from a mirror universe guy.
...can I have the exact quote? Or a clip of it? This is the kind of thing that needs to be seen to truly sink in.
Elon is, as demonstrated, happy to let that sink in.
Lorca (already a very unconventional Star Trek captain) asks if wants to be “remembered in history… alongside the Wright Brothers, Elon Musk, Zefram Cochrane…or as a failed fungus expert, a selfish little man who put the survival of his own ego before the lives of others?”

That was the first clear sign that Lorca was from the Mirror Universe.

That's the particular universe he thinks he's creating, clearly
