The guy saying that is from the Mirror Universe, where the Wright Brothers made war machines, Zefram Cochrane gunned down the Vulcan contact team, and Elon Musk … was probably much the same.

Hank Scorpio is the very picture of charm and class compared to Musk’s incel-appeal.

Hank Scorpio is a great boss! He turned Homer Simpson into a happy motivated effective worker.

Ditto for the entertainment industry, I imagine.
A couple years ago Disney announced that they would be relocating their Imagineering group to Florida to take advantage of some tax breaks. Officially the plan is still happening, but it’s been delayed by several years. Turns out that it can be tricky to convince thousands of top-tier creative types with special skills and experience to uproot their lives from California to Florida, especially when Florida is so actively hostile towards several marginalized groups.

An Imagineer that I know was fond of quoting Bender from that episode whenever she got frustrated at work.
Also, fun fact:
Elements of that show, especially the title, were inspired by a ride built for the World’s Fair in 1939.

One fun thing it means is that if someone sues Tesla, they can jurisdiction shop. Most of the time, that would probably mean suing them in California.

Conservative media (and people) made so much hay when Tesla moved to Texas. They screamed from mountaintops that it was the very definiton of how conservative politics are better and California is a failed state and blah blah blah.
I’m guessing not a peep on this move back. Fox will certainly not be talking about it.
