COLORADO SPRINGS — The restless spirit of Nikola Tesla reportedly appeared last week during a failed Tesla Cybertruck demonstration, only to immediately vanish again out of what witnesses described as “conflicted disappointment.” Paranormal experts say the inventor’s ghost has been pacing through multiple dimensions debating whether Elon Musk is a worthy heir or just a Reddit comment with money.
Tesla, once known for inventing electricity and dying broke with a pigeon, is now linked to the man who launched a flamethrower company for laughs. When asked about Musk’s achievements, Tesla’s ghost allegedly responded by flickering the lights, sneezing static, and mumbling something about “marketing sorcery” and “vibes-based engineering.” He then flew into the nearest charging station and shorted it.
Tesla enthusiasts argue the ghost should feel honored. Musk’s company is named after him, after all. But historians say the real Tesla despised business suits, profit, and anyone who spoke in slogans. In the meantime, Elon Musk was last seen tweeting memes about cyborg cats while promising brain chips for everyone. Sources say the ghost sighed hard at that part.
Religious tech cults across Silicon Valley have since held seances in an attempt to win Tesla’s approval, offering incense made from lithium and copies of The Martian. So far, the ghost has responded by haunting their Wi-Fi. One venture capitalist awoke to find “NOPE” etched into his solar roof. Coincidence? Experts say no.
Scholars now believe Tesla’s spirit may never fully decide. “He both respects the innovation and resents the branding,” said one ghostologist. “It’s the inventor’s curse.” For now, Tesla’s ghost roams the earth, flipping breakers and appearing in the smoke of malfunctioning toasters. When asked for a final verdict, he whispered, “Ask me again after someone invents humility.” Then he vanished into a socket.
