This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I would really like to know how much he spent on getting a passing reference in the least popular ST show of all time.

From what I have heard, that part of the line was not even scripted. The actor ad libbed it in hopes that it might lead to him being gifted a free Tesla vehicle.

EDIT: There was also the completely unrelated reference in a later episode, in which a character mentioned having gone to Musk Junior High School. That may have been a paid reference.

Damn, that's somehow so much worse!

Forgot about the Musk jr high 🤦🤦🤦

My head canon is that in universe Musk Jr. High isn't a real school and it's just an edgy joke.. the space version of saying you went to the "Adolf Hitler School for Tolerance and Friendship"

You say it for a laugh when you're 14 or acting like it on Space 4Chan
