Nonsense. Elon is a hebrew name and occurs in the old testament (Book of Judges).

You would have known that your statement is not fact had you read the article you linked, especially the section about the claim:

> Interest in this novel increased in 2021 when people connected Elon, the Martian leader, to SpaceX founder, Elon Musk, suggesting that von Braun may have predicted Musk's space exploration ventures.
