That’s pretty revisionist. He’s an asshat now but wasn’t always seen that way.
In 2017, Musk was still pretty popular with liberals. He advocated for a carbon taxes, a universal basic income, and AI regulation. Tesla was still leading the game in EV production. SpaceX was re-supplying the ISS and set to free the US from Soyuz. He supported Hillary in 2016 and quit Trump’s advisory council because he withdrew from the Paris Climate Accords.
It was only around and after COVID he took a hard turn and became particularly unpopular with the left. When this episode came out it made sense, and also fit well with Star Trek’s typical formula of “past historical figure, current notable figure, future fictional figure.”
That’s when normal people saw Musk for what he was. The day of the dreaded “pedo guy” tweet, when it turned out a massive rigid submarine was absolutely useless in a cave rescue.

That’s why I think Orwell was wrong. You don’t need a big government agency to rewrite history. People will do it just fine on their own.
I guess I’ve seen liberals as gullible for years.
I hated him since before the iron man appearance. Whenever that was.
Uh, huh. So 2009…?
Any reason beyond he was a billionaire and you’re apparently Very Smart?
