    You say that, but we seem to be at least on track to a better 2050 than they had.

    We’ve not had a eugenics war, drug-controlled supersoldiers, nuclear conflagration, nor a mutant genocide campaign, and we may not get the second and fourth.

      Yeah in the Star Trek universe they praised Elon Musk

      Guess we have already split off from that timeline. Unless of course the fascists will rewrite history.

        Elon Musk still has time for a redemption arc. He might very well be the the person who finally kills Elon Musk

        I feel like people overblow the Elon Musk reference. Even putting aside the plot twist, it’s been nearly 200 years from now, and they had the whole nuclear apocalypse in the early 2000s, which would only further muddle things.

        People today praise Thomas Edison, and he was not that much better in many respects.

        It’s entirely reasonable for someone in the 23rd century to lose some of the details that we might have today.

          It was an incredibly dumb decision to reference a living person. This just shows what a crock of shit Disco is.
