We’re in a third alternate universe where we get the Bell Riots, WWIII, nuclear apocalypse, authoritarian government, uncontrolled eugenics programs, no warp engine technology and no Vulcans or alien species coming to save us from ourselves … oh yeah but the Borg arrive too.
But the Borg of this universe can’t communicate with eachother. The queen can send orders and the Borg can send up responses or thoughts, but the queen largely ignores non-beneficial thoughts. But because of this, there is a queen each subqueen can send communications to and receive orders from. All the way up to the “CEO queen” who does the bidding of the actual collective “board of queens”.
The more powerful queens have simply survived longer and assimilated more, and have spawned enough queens to destroy rival colonies.
Instead of being referred to as the “Borg Collective” they call themselves “Hardworking Individuals”.
According to my armchair unlicensed psychiatry, Musk would absolutely flip the “on” switch on the Borg.
The main reason is that I think he wants to be remembered more than anything. He’s realized he won’t have time to find immortality or load himself into a computer, so having people speak his name and see his face for centuries is the next best thing. Does not matter if it’s for bad reasons.
He has also talked about the importance of preserving the light of consciousness. The Borg are perfect for this.
And then in general, he seems to be on the extra-sociopathic end of the tech bro spectrum, where the point of a life well lived is productivity and accumulation of assets, and emotions are a weakness. He would probably get all hot and bothered at the idea of being able to assimilate all life forms, share their useful technical knowledge across the collective, and summarily discard all the cultural distractions from the Great Productive Mission.

Honestly, the Borg arriving would be something of a mercy. I’d join.

I bet we invent the Borg
I’m pretty sure that’s what Musk is trying for with his brain implants.

The bobiverse…
As long as it’s not the goddamn Kelvinverse.
That might explain why Section 31 was so awful. We fell into the Kelvinverse after they shot Harambe
