Elon Musk's coming was literally prophesied by a certain infamous Nazi rocket scientist. I don't expect rational science-minded materialists to believe in spooky magic but at the very least the psychological impact of that apparent prophesy on the man himself should be considered.

He probably meant it.

Can you please share more about this prophecy? A like would be helpful.
The description linked seems like a real stretch to me for it to be considered a prophecy. The only overlap I see with reality is that both Mars and the name Elon are mentioned together.

The author wrote the store around 40 years in his future. We have yet to send a mission to mars, meaning he was off by at least 40 more years.

"Elon" in the story is the title used by the martian leader, not the martian's name and definitely not the human billionaire seeking to make the mission happen.

How exactly is it a literal prophecy?
