Bonus points that they seriously think it isn't another example of Musk simply being cheeky because he can.
He said the plan was to name the model 3 the model E originally, but that GM or some other car mfg has the trademark on it so that the tesla vehicle lineup would spell "SEX". He's also added Insane and Ludicrous modes, with a comment that plaid mode will eventually be added. That is directly from the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.
Finally, the two SpaceX "autonomous drone platform" ships are named "Of Course I Love You" and "Just Read the Instructions", which are Culture GSV class war ships in Ian M Banks's culture book series.
"Bioweapon defense" mode is just musk having a bit of fun. I doubt that they are seriously thinking it would be used for that, and if they were, it would look a lot more like the "Fox" nuclear biological and chemical protection vehicle the US Army uses.
