Just days before the debut of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy on the 2026 TV schedule, billionaire Elon Musk evoked its name during a recent press conference. He's hoping humanity can "boldly go" where no man has gone before. Yet these sentiments make his recent comments about the upcoming series itself unexpected.
Musk was with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth at the SpaceX Starbase for a planned visit recently, and the two spoke about plans for the future and how the government and Musk's SpaceX could collaborate in the future. Musk seemed to summarize his goals as to make Star Trek a reality, suggesting he's a fan of the franchise. However, I'm not sure he'll be tuning in for the upcoming premiere with a Paramount+ subscription.
