A trillion dollar investment in ordinary Americans is not radical; it would effectively help prevent crime, improve security, and raise standards of living across the country. And it’s what most people actually want.

According to his own father, Elon’s name was inspired by Wernher von Braun and he was meant to rule Mars. You can’t make this stuff up.🧵
Fun fact: Nazi scientist Wernher von Braun, who developed the V2 (and later the US Apollo moon rockets), wrote a book in 1953 called “The Mars Project” in which colonists are governed by an elected “Elon” and his cabinet.
Space Caligula’s father read the book and named his son Elon.
