How did I miss this?

I still think a case containing one MEEELLION dollars would have been
far cheesier...

I couldn't quite figure out what the joke was supposed to be.
Musk said it was related to the Monty Python's "Cheese Shop" sketch,
but that cheese wasn't even mentioned in the sketch IIRC.
One of the French Resistance fighters in "Top Secret" was named
"Fromage" though. (The best one was the black guy who was named
"Chocolate Mousse").
I would have thought some Moon Cheese from Wallace and Gromit's "A Grand
Day Out" would have been a better joke, as that involved building a rocket.

Or how 'bout some good ol' *American* cheese from say the dairy fields of
Wisconsin? How 'bout it Musk? Our sweet hearted cows not good enough for you
millionaire types beguiled by those foreign heifers? Our girls pay the freight
to insure our American rocket engineers and technicians are raised on
wholesome AMERICAN milk and cheese only to have the glory stolen by the
Frenchies again...

Moo!
