PALO ALTO, CA – In an unprecedented turn of events that has sent shockwaves through both the spiritual and automotive communities, a group of Tesla owners claims to have made contact with the ghost of Nikola Tesla during their monthly “Charge and Channel” seance meeting. The deceased inventor reportedly appeared with a shocking message: Elon Musk’s Mars colonization plans must be terminated, or faceinterference from interdimensional Martians.
“We thought we might contact some spirits who would validate our choice in electric vehicles,” said Brad Thompson, local Tesla Model S owner and seance participant. “Instead, we got a very angry Serbian inventor who wouldn’t stop ranting about Martians living in another dimension.”
The situation has become particularly dire for Thompson, who claims Tesla’s ghost has been following him home and maintaining an unsettling presence during his most private moments. “I can’t even use the bathroom in peace anymore,” Thompson complained, visibly distressed. “Do you know how hard it is to concentrate when the father of modern electricity is standing there, judging your toilet posture?”
The group, who call themselves the “Tesla Testimonials,” are now threatening to sell their vehicles unless CEO Elon Musk cancels his planned Mars missions. “We’re serious about this,” said Jennifer Martinez, another group member. “I love my Model Y, but I love not being cursed by an interdimensional Serbian ghost even more.”
When reached for comment, SpaceX representatives seemed unfazed by the supernatural warnings. “We’ve dealt with numerous technical challenges in our Mars mission planning, but this is the first time we’ve had to consider interdimensional Martian property rights,” said a SpaceX spokesperson, trying to maintain a straight face.
The Tesla Testimonials have started a Change.org petition titled “Stop Mars Colonization: The Truth Is Out There (In Another Dimension).” So far, it has garnered three signatures, all from members who swear their computers signed themselves.
Meanwhile, Brad Thompson has resorted to using public restrooms exclusively. “At least there, if anyone sees a ghost watching me, they’ll just assume it’s a Silicon Valley thing,” he sighed, clutching his Tesla key card nervously.
Elon Musk responded to the situation on X with a single tweet: “Nikola, if you’re reading this, we’re still naming a crater after you 🚀👻”
