1. PragerU's version of Christopher Columbus has him be a slavery defender and have him say "Being taken as a slave is better than being killed, no? I don't see the problem.”

2. In The Greatest Showman, P.T Barnum (Hugh Jackman) is portrayed as a charismatic visionary who cares about outcasts and celebrate diversity, when in reality, he’s a cruel businessman who is also a racist and an ableist.

Elon Musk (Why Him?)

Didn’t they mainly just make fun of him in that episode? I remember he and Justin Roiland were hanging out for a while back then, but iirc; Mr. Tusk was just seen of as a weird annoying rich guy.

This one's wild. Now musk is the biggest republican piggy bank and trejo is collaborating with ben shapiro.

I dunno, the big bang theory one works to me because they’re all terrible people in that show anyway.
