Elon Musk would not have been looked upon kindly by anyone from star trek. Maybe Quark... but even then I'm sure he'd be shaking his head with a "143rd rule of acquisition: never let ego interfere with profits".
Even the antagonists would hate him for being so clumsy and amateurish in his evil.
Musk is the rich guy in season 1 TNG who wakes up after being frozen in the 20th century. He's like:
"I have a substantial portfolio that must have grown since then."
Picard just laughs and says:
"We don't use money anymore."

Ahh good point. People from star treks "opposite land" think he's great.
'The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives. We work to better ourselves and the rest of humanity.'
- Professor Charles Xavier
"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" -Spock
Maybe he just identifies with the Ferengi.
I legitimately can't help tearing up when Picard tells this to Lily in First Contact. It's pavlovian at this point.
First Contact is definitely on the top list of Star Trek movies/episodes for hitting a lot of the basic Trek themes. And also music scores, I get chills anytime I hear that main leitmotif.
I highly doubt he has ever sat through an episode of Trek. Well maybe he watched some Discovery. At any rate he is simply saying this because there is a public perception of Trek being nerdy and intelligent which fits his brand the the public persona he tried to cultivate, and its a show that stoked his ego once before.
I'll bet his favorite episode is DS9 S4E16 where O'Brian and the Ferengi start a union to protest against Quarks unfair business practices.

it is probably because of that episode in which he is compared to Zefram Cochrane or the Wright brothers. Must have been good for his ego.
What I found funny is that Lorca come from the mirror universe, it makes sense that Musk would be idolized there.
Of course, it wouldn't explain Tilly's junior high school. Unless it was named after a better Musk.
That's because we're in the mirror universe. It all makes sense now, sadly.
This feels like Quark saying "I love the Federation!"
The Muskrat probably thinks this guy is right:
Yeah he's very Musk-like. It's also funny that the actor's name is Richman.
Well, that guy at least ended up being of some help, even if he was a dick
He just says that because he got name dropped.
Is there a petition to undo that?
Something, something, broken clock…
His behaviour more like a colony villain than anything remotely positive in the Star Trek world.
We don't want you Elon.
All I can imagine now is Trekkies desperately talking up Star Wars around Musk to get him to haunt a different franchise.
I'll bet his favorite episode is DS9 S4E16 where O'Brian and the Ferengi start a union to protest against Quarks unfair business practices.
He thought this was a serious account, and loved it.
Lol, what's the story there?
Are we the baddies?
Skulls are very fashionable
Leave no one wants you here mr muskrat
See Brock acquire. Acquire, Brock, acquire!
