Man it was really stupid (and cringe) of them to talk about musk in discovery. And it aged terrible lol
OMG yeah that reference aged like a Cybertruck.
That would mean not at all, or is it because blew up in their face? Or because the reference just didn't work? Or because it's stupid, man this line of yours has layers.
They could have at least read up about him if they were going to name drop, it was clear if you paid attention back then how bad he was, though it was more understandable for someone not paying attention to not know
Jason Isaacs improvised the musk part in hopes of getting a Tesla
He mentioned it in an aftershow
I’m gonna keep believing, he said that because he knew he was from the mirror universe.
The dumb fuck.
Dick.
Was it before or after the "pedo submarine" thing?
Because I'm having a hard time understanding how much attention one would need to pay.
I think before. Pedo submarine comment was 2018 and I believe this was 2017. He had made crazy comments but nothing was big news at that point iirc
Honestly, a better analogy is Henry Ford.
Yes Henry Ford certainly had no problematic aspects
I mean that Henry Ford was an overt fascist, so the comparison to Musk is more apt.
See also Thomas Edison.
Though to be fair, I am pretty sure Edison wasn’t a fascist, because fascism hadn’t been invented yet
An asshole is an asshole is an asshole. I get you, though
Hadn't been invented, or just hadn't been discovered yet?
I think the right word to use here is “defined”
Hadn’t been marketed properly.
Ideologies are invented, not discovered.
When was this episode aired originally?
To this day , that title is in my list of top 5 titles, and probably the top Disco title.
That is also a great one and the other contender for best Disco title IMO.
All right yeah that's what I thought. Well past when red flags were already coming up all over the place. No excuse for them to have been worshiping him by that date.
Heeeh, the pedo thing was a year later, that's when he really exposed himself to the mainstream audience.
