It was a piece of history I had no idea about, and I wanted you to come on and share it with our viewers and listeners. Letโs start in 1948. Operation Paperclip Jim: A classified program that the U.S. intelligence services executed at the end of World War II and for years afterward. It brought over at least 1,600 Nazi engineers, scientists, and others to the United States to help fight the Cold War. One of those Nazis was a man named Wernher von Braun. Thom: Wernher von Braun? Jim: Yes, and von Braun invented the V-2 rocket, otherwise known as the "Vengeance rocket," which terrorized London and Antwerp at the end of World War II. This man, who created the V-2 rocket, was part of Operation Paperclip. Heโs relevant, it seems, to the richest man's life in surprising ways. Thom: Right. So, von Braun comes to America, and while heโs here, he writes a book called Mars Project in German at Fort Bliss, Texas, which was published in English in 1952. Tell us about this science fiction novel von Braun wrote. Jim: Yes, itโs a science fiction novel, but itโs a very technical one. The entire last third of the book consists of technical drawings and other detailsโtrue rocket science from one of the most famous rocket scientists in history. He was a Nazi, but also a legitimate rocket scientist. In the book, thereโs a figure on Earth who demands that humanity become multiplanetaryโa theme Elon Musk frequently emphasizes. Thom: Thatโs interesting. Jim: In the book, humanity goes to Mars, where they discover a colony already exists. The leader of this colony is called โthe Elon.โ Thom: Wait, in the novel? Jim: Yes, in the novelโnot breaking news here! The leader of the Mars colony is called โthe Elon.โ When I first heard this story, I thought it might be apocryphal. Then, I listened to Errol Musk, Elon Muskโs father, who openly stated that as a child growing up in apartheid South Africa, he read these science fiction books. He was a huge Wernher von Braun fan and confirmed that Elon was named after โthe Elon.โ Thom: So, Elon Musk is named after the ruler of Mars in a novel written by a Nazi rocket scientist? Jim: Yes, and to make it even stranger, the colony in the novel does not live on the surface. Instead, they inhabit underground tunnels because the surface is too hostile. Thom: Thatโs wild. It also reminds me of Elonโs company, The Boring Company, which drills tunnels. Jim: Exactly. Thereโs another parallel with Elonโs Hyperloop projectโa high-speed transportation system in tunnels. In the novel, the underground Martian society uses similar tunnels because surface living is impossible. Thom: Fascinating. What else can you tell us about the Martian society in the novel? Jim: The society on Mars is a technocracy. The Elon is essentially a dictator, but his advisors and court consist of technocratsโengineers and scientistsโbecause he believes only they are equipped to handle such challenges. Itโs a kind of benevolent dictatorship. Thom: And Elon Muskโs maternal grandfather, Joshua Haldeman, was the leader of a pro-Hitler fascist movement in the 1930s and 1940s called Technocracy Inc., which promoted a society ruled by technocrats. Jim: Exactly. This connection is eerie. Musk even lists himself as the โTechnoking of Teslaโ in SEC filings, reflecting how he sees himselfโas a benevolent dictator.
