Says the one actually doing a whole nazi salute, buying presidency despite not being able to hold office due to nationality, carving up entire programs and departments in a very incompetent way, and attempting to shamelessly buy a seat in the supreme court.

And that's not mentioning how I personally believe he may be doing all this due to his God-Iron-Man-Savior complex which makes him believe he'll be remembered as a modern messiah. Notice how he's revived his desire to put mankind on Mars, and by next year no less. He knows under current laws he'd at best help pave the way to Mars, but not live to enjoy it himself. "Maybe if I change the whole rulebook - in the end despite the suffering they'll thank and revere me", I bet.

Poor Elon. I bet he's crying right now for being a misjudged angel, drying his tears in green paper.

Two whole Nazi salutes.

He is named Elon after a character in a novel by Wernher von Braun. The boy had no chance.

How was Errol Musk aware of the book (in 1970 something) if it was unpublished until 2006 ? (According to the wiki link below) ?

Were they doing nazi catch ups with Von Braun in the 60s or something ?

Maybe because of the excerpts that were published in the 1950s?
