It's funny, I never quite picked up this vibe of him as green guru, but I can totally believe it. It puts in better context, without of course justifying, Star Trek embarrassingly namechecking him

I think he spent the mid 2010s hitting up all the nerdy bullshit of the era to namedrop him or give him a cameo. If that was an endeavor on his end to get acclaim with that kind of fandom, it worked. He is adept at hype, so long as the audience are suckers/ fools/evil

I like the theory that Lorca namedropping Musk points to him being a baddie www.reddit.com/r/startrekme...
