    Wernher Von Braun writes a book titled “Project Mars” and the leader of Mars was titled “ELON” .. I mean .. what are the chances .. ??????
    “The Martian government was directed by ten men, the leader of whom was elected by universal suffrage for five years and entitled ‘ELON ..’ Two houses of Parliament enacted the laws to be administered by the ELON and his cabinet.” page 177 ….

    • Somebody cited the Mars book a couple of weeks ago and I commented that “Elon” is “oak tree” in Hebrew. It has been hypothesised that certain people are “cultivated” on an inter-generational level to act as agents of the oligarchs. Who’s to say if this is the case of Mr Musk, or if it is just an occasion for the said oligarchs, who know Von Braun and his works VERY well, to have a quiet laugh.

      • Anyway there is a marketing precept that, at least in English, single-syllable words [possibly with just 4 letters!] are deemed to be the best for marketing purposes, including political and financial marketing. 2-syllable names come in second if we look at politicians and CEOs…

      • Dana .. I think this may be one of those both / and .. moments ..

        • Me too.

          • How convenient to be born in South Africa, probably riddled with secret societies that keep well under the radar… think descendants of the Round Table crowd, Boer-dom, and Teutonic traces from “former” German South-West Africa aka Namibia.
