Going to make a longer comment since Elon Musk has changed a lot since I made the first one. I absolutely cannot stand this name due to the association with Elon Musk. He's such a vile person - he's a racist, an anti-Semite, a son of apartheid, and in recent years he's become Donald Trump's biggest fan. Not to mention he's a corrupt CEO and he actually thinks it's okay to put microchips in people's brains. He's basically ruined this name forever.
Elon is mostly associated with the guy who got rich off of his parents' apartheid emerald mine, so naming your child this now would give you some weird looks. I suggest using a similar-sounding name like Eli or even a cognate like Alon. The meaning is nice though, oak trees are seen as a symbol of strength and endurance, it's quite a unique name overall.

C'mon, everyone knows Elon Musk! It's too associated with him.
Elon is a nice name. The Musk guy owns Tesla. He's nice.

Pre-Elon Musk being a household name, it made me think of Elon College in North Carolina (USA). I knew a lot of rich party kids who went there; it has a reputation of being an expensive school (ergo elite), when you're rich but not smart enough to go to Duke or Vanderbilt. I like the simplicity of the name, but I also think some people might think it's a typo for Leon. Maybe not anymore, though, since Elon Musk is so famous.

Shout out to Elon Musk for ruining this name for like 20 years.
