Nobody has done more to disprove the "Rich people are smarter than everyone else" idea.

Remember a decade ago when he was being lauded as our time's Einstein?

........ Hahahahahahaha

Yeah by his own PR team, mostly, but it was a pretty easy fascade to see through when you actually listened to the man speak. Still don't forgive Dan Harmon for letting him shit on R&M with the eLoN tUsK bullshit. Or Star Trek Discovery for that matter, which happened much later after he had already shown his true face to the world. I know Harmon got paid because he's talked about it, but I would really like to know how much he spent on getting a passing reference in the least popular ST show of all time.

From what I have heard, that part of the line was not even scripted. The actor ad libbed it in hopes that it might lead to him being gifted a free Tesla vehicle.

EDIT: There was also the completely unrelated reference in a later episode, in which a character mentioned having gone to Musk Junior High School. That may have been a paid reference.

Damn, that's somehow so much worse!

Forgot about the Musk jr high 🤦🤦🤦

My head canon is that in universe Musk Jr. High isn't a real school and it's just an edgy joke.. the space version of saying you went to the "Adolf Hitler School for Tolerance and Friendship"

You say it for a laugh when you're 14 or acting like it on Space 4Chan

Ah, the Terri Schiavo Academy. I love it.
