    The fact that there are two references to Musk in Discovery is a bit disheartening. There's this one from Lorca but another when Tilly says she went to a school named after Musk.

    I choose to believe that in this alternate universe he kept his mouth shut.

      This line was foreshadowing Lorca’s origin. You see, mirror Musk was actually competent, making him the precise inverse of real Musk.

      I don’t care that the timing is suspect and there’s another Musk reference in Discovery, I’ll die on this hill.

        Nah, Mirror Musk was exactly the same as he is now.

        It is just that lying, bribing and being narcissistic are admiral traits in the Mirror Universe

      Tilly says she went to a school named after Musk.

      I firmly believe that someone had to talk the writer responsible out of making Tilly a graduate of Bit Connect High School.
