Says the original manuscript was confirmed.
What’s the possible explanation?
A) time travel, or seeing future is/was possible.
B) some idiot got lucky and named his character Elon, which is not a very common name. Then 70 years later a human named Elon will seemingly be the first person to send manned craft to Mars. Considering the billions of people that have existed this century, highly unlikely of a guess. 1 in quadrillion odds of predicting that…
C) other (please tell me your explanation)

If you’re going to post this, include the other parts about a dude named Barron and the other part about the last president. Etc.


It’s been covered.

He’s got a better shot at actually getting a hyper loop built. Plus the book has Elon going to Mars. Has musk ever been in space?

In the movie The Hunt for Red October based on the book by Tom Clancy, the KGB agent placed on the Red October who Captain Marko Ramius killed in Ramius' cabin was named "Putin."

Still quite the name drop.

Hilarious if someone would use that angle to be unimpressed by the coincidence

Elon Musk's first name, Elon, comes from his maternal great-grandfather, John Elon Haldeman, originally from Illinois.
