    So annoying how this guy gets credited in DIS.

      Yeah, but by Mirror Lorca, so that does cushion the blow.

      I watched this wayyyy after Musk turned evil and I thought it was really good foreshadowing that maybe Lorca isn’t the best guy.

      I don’t think that was intentional… But it did genuinely make the twist better for me

        Yeah but everyone else found it normal. Weren’t there even schools named after him? Maybe I’m misremembering.

        And yeah if did happen before he went full mask-off. But there was still accusations of weird behaviour towards women, still overworking employees, still massive union-busting efforts, etc.

          There are schools today still named after confederate generals. I will think of you as bad for idolizing them but I wouldn’t find it super strange if someone listed a school named after one.

          Meh, it sucks that it was added at all but I think it aged well personally.

          SpaceX probably will go down in history as an important step in space flight. Star Trek’s 23rd century apparently didn’t solve the problem of giving too much credit to historical monsters who were technically in charge of things.

          Think Edison or Christopher Columbus. They’ve gotten a lot of reeximination in recent decades for being assholes, but they were heroes in the popular imagination for a long time.

        People were cringing about it even when it came out. Elon may not have gone full mask off yet, but he was headed there.
