In a universe where political shade-throwing meets nerdy pop culture references, California Governor Gavin Newsom just leveled up his Twitter game by invoking Star Trek to roast former President Donald Trump and Alabama’s Space Command relocation.

Beam Me Up, Political Sass

Newsom’s latest tweet was a full-on sci-fi powered takedown, arguing that Space Command belongs in San Francisco – the future home of Starfleet Academy – not Alabama. With all-caps energy that would make Trump proud, he proclaimed California as the ultimate tech and innovation powerhouse.

Silicon Valley Meets Final Frontier

Dropping serious Star Trek knowledge, Newsom referenced the upcoming Paramount+ series “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy” and highlighted San Francisco’s long-standing connection to the franchise. From Kirk and Spock saving whales in the 1986 film to the fictional Starfleet Headquarters nestled in the Presidio, the Bay Area has always been sci-fi royalty.

California: Where Innovation Warp Speeds Ahead

Beyond the pop culture burn, Newsom threw down some serious stats, pointing out California’s top-tier status in aerospace, technology, and AI. He didn’t just stop at trolling Trump – he took shots at Alabama’s governor, claiming the state’s murder rate is 190% higher than California’s. Classic Newsom: part policy wonk, part internet troll, 100% Bay Area energy.
