    This line was foreshadowing Lorca’s origin. You see, mirror Musk was actually competent, making him the precise inverse of real Musk.

    I don’t care that the timing is suspect and there’s another Musk reference in Discovery, I’ll die on this hill.

      Nah, Mirror Musk was exactly the same as he is now.

      It is just that lying, bribing and being narcissistic are admiral traits in the Mirror Universe
