A viral X post has sparked debate over a bizarre chain of historical coincidences linking Nikola Tesla, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and a series of eerily prophetic books and TV shows.
It all begins with inventor Nikola Tesla’s death in 1943, when the U.S. government seized his papers. The person tasked with reviewing Tesla’s secret inventions? John G. Trump, an MIT scientist—and President Donald Trump’s uncle—who publicly claimed there was “nothing of significance” in Tesla’s notes.
The thread then highlights a 1958 episode of the TV show Trackdown, where a character named Walter Trump swindles townsfolk with a “magic wall” to protect them from doom, an uncanny parallel to Donald Trump’s border wall.
Adding to the intrigue, in the 1890s, author Ingersoll Lockwood wrote novels about a boy named “Baron Trump” from “Castle Trump” guided by a figure named Don, followed by The Last President, a story of chaos after an outsider’s election victory.
The coincidences culminate with former Nazi Wernher von Braun’s 1953 science fiction book, which imagines human colonisation of Mars led by a figure named “Elon”. Today, Elon Musk, founder of Tesla (named after Nikola Tesla) and SpaceX, is actively pursuing Mars colonisation and has had ties to Donald Trump’s administration. The thread’s eerie timeline of connections has captivated the internet, leaving many to wonder: is it all just a strange series of coincidences—or is someone scripting reality?
so let me get this straight… Nikola Tesla dies, and the ONLY person allowed access to his safe—the one containing all his most secret inventions—is John G. Trump, a brilliant MIT scientist and, oh yeah, Donald Trump’s uncle, who conveniently says, “nothing to see here” while the… pic.twitter.com/2SYaqqSLRC
