The name Elon comes from this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Mars:_A_Technical_Tale

Written by a former nazi paperclip scientist

Nonsense. Elon is a hebrew name and occurs in the old testament (Book of Judges).

You would have known that your statement is not fact had you read the article you linked, especially the section about the claim:

> Interest in this novel increased in 2021 when people connected Elon, the Martian leader, to SpaceX founder, Elon Musk, suggesting that von Braun may have predicted Musk's space exploration ventures.

The book was published in 2006.

That's decades after he was born.

Any explanation for that or are you claiming Jungian levels of synchronicity?

The book was written in 1949, so we might not need help from Jung here.
