Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, who devotes himself to the vision of making humanity a multi-Planet species, with Mars as our second house, recently reacted to an extract from a German book which mentions a leader on Mars named “Elon”.
The post, shared by Musk on X, presented a passage from the The Mars project of Von Braun, which describes a Martian government led by an individual called “Elon”. This chief is elected for a five -year term, supervising a cabinet and working with two parliamentary houses. Musk’s reaction was a mixture of disbelief: “How can it be real?”
Coincidence has sparked a wave of online reactions, ranging from humor to wild speculation. A user joked: “Maybe you are a traveler in time or something.” Musk joked: “No matter the frequency I tell people that I am a 5000 -year -old foreign traveler, they don’t believe me.”
Others have joined comments like: “You are a stranger, aren’t you?” And “the prophecy will be made”.
Another user has referred to pop culture, saying: “I think we are relaxed in the revelation that it is indeed a simulation.” Some users have even explored a more in -depth meaning with one noting that “Elon” means “oak” in Hebrew, symbolizing strength and longevity, and in Celtic mythology, oak is governed by Mars. Another added: “Friendly signs that there are no coincidences.”
Musk’s long -term vision includes a flourishing and autonomous mars which would serve as a springboard for the expansion of humanity throughout the solar system. He envisages humans to reach the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and finally venture into interstellar space. Musk also expressed hope that humanity will one day discover evidence of extraterrestrial civilizations lost for a long time, stressing that a self-respecting civilization must be multi-planetary. “We have to target at least two planets,” he concluded.
Wernher von Braun, the German-American aerospace engineer, is best known for developing the V-2 rocket during the Second World War and later contributed to the NASA space program. After the Second World War, he was brought to the United States via operation PaperClip, where he played a key role in the development of the Saturn V rocket, which finally allowed Apollo Moon landing.
