Early Criticism: What’s Unfounded and What Isn’t

Imagine having a space to discuss your favorite franchise and using it to trash other people.
SpaceX is more likely to be a corporation in the Expanse than become the Federation.
It's 100% Star Trek in its DNA and feels very comfortable and familiar. It takes snippets of cadet shenanigoats we've seen every get up to and balances it with the Star Trek storytelling of a stationary location with some galactic political arcs thrown in. The tone is light but not at the expense of a genuine emotional core.
Think some kind of tribrid of DS9, LDS and seasons 2-5 of DSC. If that sounds like it works for you, you will probably have a good time.
What does him being the richest man in the universe with his own private space force has to do with him disliking a certain character on his favorite franchise?
Aside from the fact you'd think someone like that would be beyond being a petty micropenis who hates a show just for having characters that aren't straight white men?
He could easily fund his own competitor show if he wanted but, as with everything else, he's a complete flop.
It's also not him "disliking a certain character", it's him sneering at actors' weight, which is unbelievably rich considering he at all times looks like he's wearing a latex Halloween mask of his own face, plus his ongoing hairpiece/transplant situation.
Of course the punchline is also that the post he retweeted thinks the show takes place on the Enterprise; as always it's just an attention-seeking exercise by people who've got nothing going on other than the culture war. He and "Not The Bee" don't care about the show, or Star Trek, or anything in general at this point, as anything other than a masturbatory in-group signalling exercise. It's all about scoring likes, which is doubly pathetic since he's doing it on his own platform which he bought in part to boost his own tweets.
I guess I'd think with that kind of luxury, you'd not have that kind of petty jerkishness to indulge in.
When you have power you're convinced all the world craves it as you so you must protect that perception at all costs. But it is often very petty.
I beg to differ and have proof that luxury brings with it pettiness.
I grew up in the country club set and generally the rich came in two varieties:
1. The spoiled rotten who lorded over everyone else.
2. The spoiled sweet who didn't know how lucky they were but were mostly just clueless when they offended people.
This argument again. You guys need to find a new schtick.
Elon is the type of immigrant we need in this country, calling him a complete flop is just fucking idiculous.
People should have the right to sneer at what they want, unlike some other people he's not asking for the actress to be fired from the show.
When SG:U launched a bunch of pissy fuckers got mad at Julia Benson being ample chested and wearing a tight uniform, but she's a very beautiful woman as well.
Actors or anyone in a public space should be ready to absorb the shocks about their looks, positive or negative.
That's a fault about CBS marketing tactics, not anyone watching the show.
The entire culture war was created by the other side.
Yeah but when fans do end up caring about the franchise itself they are called racist sexist ableist chuds because they know what works and what doesn't.
I'm not American and the political psychodrama means nothing to me (beyond the stress of having to hear about it every five seconds, hence my response), so the only part I can really respond to is this:
We both know the reason the tweet says that is because some tedious pillock heard there was a trailer for a new Star Trek and made a beeline (heh) to the keyboard to piss and moan about it to get twitter engagement from other people who knew jack shit about the show and had no intent to watch it to begin with (people like Musk).
The trailer could have shown anything and the exact same chain of events would have happened, because the input doesn't even matter at this point, everything just gets turned into fuel for the unending outrage machine. There was nothing outright objectionable in the trailer so the """jokes""" had to default to the actors' weights; if there'd been no overweight people on-screen then we'd have just gotten some other tired-out hoary comment about someone's nose shape or some inane shit like that.
If someone comes along and calls me a "racist sexist ableist chud" for that, I'll agree with you, but I'd bet money that nobody's going to. Someone might say I have shit taste, but I doubt I'll be accused of bigotry.
The marketing for SFA was dire in many ways but there was also no indication of any sort that it'd take place on the Enterprise. Anyone who spent two seconds looking into it knew that.

Alright, let's do an experiment: I care about the franchise, I think Discovery was basically shit, I think Picard - all three seasons - were terrible, I think SNW started strong then shat itself, and I think SFA is promising but middling so far. I also couldn't stand Lower Decks for more than two episodes. I believe that the current showrunners have damaged the franchise, and I want a return to episodic adventure stories as in TOS, TNG, and Voyager.

I was?
I figure a TOS style show would work the best, but I also don't believe Star Trek should cater just to me.
When these types of people cease to exist then you can have your wish. There's also the fact Elon begged to molest children but no one liked him enough to include him so his ai does it for people with no apology. Supporting Elon is being okay with this.
what's her BMI?

I'm not sure your fantasies actually count as "fact".
There was only one reason to want to go to that island.
Elon Musk expressed interest in visiting Jeffrey Epstein's island, newly released emails show
Musk has denied numerous times that he ever visited the island and has said that he “refused” invitations.
