The First Rule about Nazi Time Machine Club is don’t talk about Nazi Time Machine Club, Werner!
That’s the first I’ve heard of that. That’s really fascinating in the weird sense.
I love that quip by Reddit user Srokap: “I like the Easter eggs they’ve put in our simulation. It’s the attention to detail that matters.”
Gather ‘round while I sing you of Wernher von Braun,
A man whose allegiance
Is ruled by expedience.
Call him a Nazi, he won’t even frown,
“Ha, Nazi, Schmazi, “ says Wernher von Braun.
Don’t say that he’s hypocritical,
Say rather that he’s apolitical.
“Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down?
That’s not my department, “ says Wernher von Braun.
Some have harsh words for this man of renown,
But some think our attitude
Should be one of gratitude,
Like the widows and cripples in old London town,
Who owe their large pensions to Wernher von Braun.
You too may be a big hero,
Once you’ve learned to count backwards to zero.
“In German oder English I know how to count down,
Und I’m learning Chinese!” says Wernher von Braun.

Very interesting coincidence. But if sci-fi were really predicting the future, Elon’s name would have been Delos D. Harriman.
Thank you for this very interesting post!
The often outspoken and controversial Musk later quipped, “No matter how often I tell people I’m a 5,000-year-old alien time traveler, they don’t believe me.”
