Elon Musk was owned into the next galaxy by Star Trek legend, Robert Picardo after he suggested building a real-life Starfleet Academy.
The X owner, who counts SpaceX as part of his corporate catalogue, raised the prospect of creating a school for budding space cadets ahead of the latest series in the Star Trek franchise, which will focus on the Starfleet Academy.
A description of the show on StarTrek.com says it will introduce “viewers to a young group of cadets who come together to pursue a common dream of hope and optimism” and “discover what it takes to become Starfleet officers”.
Musk, who has a vision of making life multi-planetary in the future, tweeted his support for making a version of the school come to life, but was swiftly owned by a Star Trek legend, who pointed out that the academy’s values might conflict with his own.
“First step: Support a leader that embodies Starfleet values like diversity, inclusion and ethical behaviour”, Picardo posted on X.
And it didn’t take long for the reply to garner a lot of support.
Matthew Lagault responded with a Star Trek quip, while others piled on in support of Picardo’s “incredible mic-drop” moment.
Well played that man!
