    Is Macron named after a character in a famous Nazi's sci-fi book too?

    Macron of Mars. Has a ring to it.

  2. Idiot. Macron is actually waving. Musk snapped to. His was anything but a wave. Now please fuck off.

    Definately, his dad Errol was a fan of the book. I am the same age as Elon, I lived in South Africa a while and everybody Elon's age was named Warren. So his dad did lift the name from here. :)

    Project Mars: A Technical Tale
    Wernher von Braun, 1949 and entitled Marsprojekt in German.
    "Chapter 24: How Mars is Governed" states:

    The Martian government was directed by ten men, the leader of whom was elected by universal suffrage for five years and entitled "Elon." Two houses of Parliament enacted the laws to be administered by the Elon and his cabinet.[13]

    ADL is no longer giving Leon the benefit of the doubt. For some reason they don't much like his slew of Nazi jokes that followed. Hmm.

    We need to get the Rimmer salute popular in Space X.



    That X does look like a disguised swastika today.

  9. 100% incorrect. Macron's salute was clearly a Nazi salute.
