The creator of Elixir was on the Rails core team and involved in the Ruby community, even for a little while after Elixir was released (until about the time Phoenix came around). The Ruby community is where Elixir gained a big chunk of its initial attention from.

That doesn't mean much. He came from Rails and then switched direction to a functional, Erlang based new language. The historical "initial traction" also doesn't mean much. The two languages aren't similar at all.
