Why Elon Musk named one of his drone ship "Of Course I Still Love You name"

[Pawelk198604]

I know he's a multi-billionaire and he can call his drone ships as he pleases    

But I wonder where this name came from?

Of course I still love names of Elons ships, but if he comes out with something like  'Gunboat Diplomat' or 'Attitude Adjuster', I will be worried.

He should name the next one "Goat"

Hopefully the next one will be a Gravitas joke.

This actually came as a shock to one of my friends who made a parody Twitter account similar to SarcasticRover, based on a (at the time) hypothetical new droneship that they named 'Shortfall of Gravitas' (I recall being part of the naming process but don't actually remember anything about it). About a month or two later,  I got the news about the new droneship named 'Shortfall of Gravitas' and thought the name sounded familiar. So I asked what the account was named- and shockingly enough; it was the exact same name. So my friend, needless to say, freaked out with excitement and surprise.

I guess this isn't the most relevant comment, but I felt it was worth mentioning.
