With the television season being as busy as it was over the past few months, we haven't had a chance to revisit one of Bleeding Cool's favorite pastimes. Of course, we're talking about checking in to see what Elon Musk or Donald Trump are up to when it comes to really bad pop culture takes. We've seen some nightmares from them in the past regarding Rick and Morty, the DC Universe's superheroes, the X-Men, and more.

Spoiler? You win by getting rid of all of your cards – not having the most! Consider that one a freebie. We know there's that old saying out there about how there's no such thing as "bad press" – but what about self-inflicted press that makes you look righteously stupid:
