Always weird to see the photos of Quark with Rom's nose prosthetic
This is 100% truth, jesus fucking christ
What firing your PR team does to a π ±οΈillionaire
This is so perfect.
Who is the first guy?
That's Zefram Cochrane, he creates the first warp capable drive in Treks history, which leads to first contact with the Vulcan, and is the subject of the film Star Trek: First Contact
In Star Trek Discovery, Cochrane and Musk get specifically compared to each other, and to the Wright Brothers.
The writers admitted they added that line in hopes of getting a free Tesla.
Getting a tesla would be an appropriate punishment for writing such a terrible line
By a fascist from the evil fascist mirror universe
True, but I also think the writers meant it unironicaly.
Oh, absolutely, they did not intend that reading of the scene.
Jesus that's fitting.
EDIT: the only problem is that technically the Pakleds do have ftl space travel, so the 
comparison is a little unfair to them
The implication seems to be though that it's not "their" FTL space travel, it's FTL space travel they've appropriated through manipulation.
They are also less cringy, lie and steal less, don't take government subsidies and do things by themselves. I would say it's pretty unfair.

He's star trek jesus
