Users spot eerie 'premonition' in background of viral childhood photo of Elon Musk

Users have spotted an eerie ‘premonition’ in the background of a viral childhood photo of Elon Musk.

The image, which was posted to Musk’s own social media platform X, formerly Twitter, depicts the richest man in the world when he was a child dressed up as Santa Claus.

However, the nostalgic pic of the future tech mogul isn’t the thing that has got people talking and instead, it is something in the background.

A paper drawing of a face with blonde hair appears to be stuck to the wall above Musk, with many people remarking how it eerily resembles President Donald Trump.

One user wrote: “Is that Trump?? You have always been a visionary. Lol.”

Another said: “Is Trump's face being behind you on the wall a premonition?”

A third person commented: “A prophecy fulfilled.”

And a fourth added: “With a Trump Haman mask in the background. Classic.”

The former friends have had a rocky year after Musk left his government post as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency.

Firing shots at one another, earlier this year, the Tesla boss took to X to write: “@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.

“Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”

At the time, Trump was not pleased with Musk’s remarks and in an interview with NBC News, the president said that Musk had been ‘disrespectful’.

He added: “I think it’s a very bad thing, because he's very disrespectful. You could not disrespect the office of the president.”

Later in the year, Trump also appeared to threaten Musk with the possibility of canceling government contracts.

The president took to his own social media platform Truth Social to write: “Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and, without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back to South Africa.”

However, it seems like he has had a change of heart, clarifying his hopes for the future of Musk’s companies.

In a post, the president wrote: “Everyone is stating that I will destroy Elon's companies by taking away some, if not all, of the large scale subsidies he receives from the U.S. Government.

“This is not so! I want Elon, and all businesses within our Country, to THRIVE.”

The pair have been spotted together since at multiple public events, with the ice appearing to thaw between the two.
