😳 Errol Musk says his son is named after a sci-fi book written in 1948 by Nazi rocket scientist Werner Von Braun called “Marsprojekt” where he describes in technical detail how people get to Mars & describes the Martian government as a technocracy with “the Elon” in charge. Von Braun was brought to America during Operation Paperclip which brought Nazi scientists to America, and wrote “Mars Project” at Ft. Bliss — in German. Hermann Oberth, who Errol Musk also mentions, was another Nazi rocket scientist who came to America in 1955 to work for Von Braun. In the chapter on the Martian government is also the core idea of non-geographical “network states” (a Thiel project to dissolve nation-states in favor of techno-dictatorships) and high velocity subways (think Boring Company/Hyperloop). How much of what Elon Musk is doing right now based on the fantasies of a Nazi rocket scientists? Is all of this “the Elon” trying to prove something to his father? Seems like we’re all screwed because of someone’s daddy issues. https://bird.makeup/@jimstewartson/1869855624978407556
