Star Trek is Woke! Oh yeah. The whole idea of sci-fi is exploring ethical dilemmas in the real world, but using advanced technology as a metaphor. MAGA isn't smart enough to see through the ruse.

Elon's caught in a liminal space between Wine Mom Liberal and Extremely Divorced Chud. He remembers people being excited about Star Trek, but he only grasps the "pew pew space lasers!" part, not the "ethical dilemma of the Kobayashi Maru" part.

If he'd been fully MAGA'd, he would be raving about Bringing Christ's Holy Message Beyond the Stars or doing Heinlein callbacks to Moon Is A Harsh Mistress.

Instead, he's still got this latent impulse to convince whatever dregs of the 1960s Space Race liberals left at NASA that he's still cool.

Star Trek always has been woke. If anything, I think the wokeness in nu-trek went down and got replaced with empty populist showoff
