THE ELON

OPERATION PAPERCLIP was a secret United States intelligence program in which more than 1,600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians were taken from former Nazi Germany to the US for government employment after the end of World War II in Europe, between 1945 and 1959; several were confirmed to be former members of the Nazi Party, including the SS or the SA.

Recruits included such notable figures as WERNHER VON BRAUN, a leading rocket-technology scientist. Those recruited were instrumental in the development of the US space program and military technology during the Cold War. Despite its contributions to American scientific advances, Operation Paperclip has been controversial because of the Nazi affiliations of many recruits, and the ethics of assimilating individuals associated with war crimes into American society.

The operation was not solely focused on rocketry; efforts were directed toward synthetic fuels, medicine, and other fields of research. Notable advances in aeronautics fostered rocket and space-flight technologies pivotal in the Space Race. The operation played a crucial role in the establishment of NASA and the success of the Apollo missions to the Moon.

Elon Musk’s father, Errol, named Elon after ‘The Elon’, rulers of Mars found in Wernher von Brauns book, Project Mars. Elon would love everyone to think his obsession with Mars and his name is an affirmation of his mission to occupy Mars. Unfortunately Errol burst his bubble by revealing the truth in an interview. He named his son Elon because of the Elon. Nazing to see here.
