Fans of billionaire Elon Musk are now saying that a book written more than 70 years ago by the rocket scientist who helped put Huntsville on the map predicted the SpaceX and Tesla CEO becoming the leader of Mars.

The manuscript, titled ' Mars Project' by Wernher von Braun, described a leader called "Elon" who would guide humans in colonizing Mars, leading to online discussions about the eerie coincidence. The fascinating excerpt was posted on social media by user @SpaceSudoer, who shared a screenshot of the text.

This peculiar coincidence sent the internet into overdrive, with netizens offering everything from humour to speculation.

The car, complete with a mannequin named “Starman” in the driver’s seat, had been orbiting the Sun ever since.
