Two tech gurus clash as inventor and industrialist Elon Musk takes on Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in a battle of the brains.


  • The Cameo: Jean-Luc Picard appears when Musk makes fun of Zuckerberg's robotic appearance during the Senate hearings, claiming how they need Lieutenant Data back. This references the many comparison made between Zuckerberg and the android during the actual hearings.
  • Composite Character: Musk claims he's a mix of Tony Stark with a James Bond sprinkle tossed in.
  • Insistent Terminology: Zuckerberg points out that Data was a Lieutenant-Commander, not a Lieutenant, during the run of The Next Generation.
  • Hypocrite: Zuckerberg claims Elon is this when the guru mocks him for letting Russian bots onto Facebook, pointing out that Musk tweets frequently about the possibility of the technology.
  • Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Zuckerberg points out he has multiple companies like Oculus, Instagram, WhatsApp, Snapchat, and PayPal, so he's basically entitled to do whatever he wants in the battle.
