SS:
Wernher von Braun was a member of the Nazi Party and the SS, and a prominent figure in the Nazi rocket program. After Nazi Germany's defeat, von Braun came to the United States in 1945 under the famous Operation Paperclip.
Operation Paperclip was a covert U.S. government program that wasn't just about harnessing German scientific talent but was part of a larger, darker agenda. The U.S. essentially whitewashed the pasts of these Nazi scientists, many of whom were war criminals, to gain an edge in the Cold War against the Soviet Union.
In his 1953 science fiction novel Project Mars: A Technical Tale, Wernher von Braun, described a character named “Elon” who would rule over Mars.
It should be a bigger deal that Elon Musk’s actual goal is to be “The Elon”—the autocrat ruler of Mars. Everything he does, including supporting Trump and pretending to be MAGA, is a means to achieving that end.
