Elon Musk and Stephen Miller’s culture war against Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is built on ignorance
Roddenberry died in 1991, but if he was still alive, he’d probably have a similar response to the criticisms leveled by Elon Musk, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, and others against Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, which premiered on Paramount Plus on Jan. 15. “Turns out they banned Ozempic and LASIK in the future lol” the world’s richest man commented on X in response to a clip showing Captain Nahla Ake (Holly Hunter) wearing reading glasses and standing alongside first officer Lura Thok (Gina Yashere) and Lt. Rork (Tricia Black) on the bridge of the U.S.S. Athena. The series has also been review bombed for being too “woke.”
