Interestingly, "John G. Trump" (on pages 178-185) is President Trump's uncle. He examined Tesla's papers and reported his findings to the FBI.

I smell a conspiracy theory!

This is where the notion that Trump is a time traveler emerged. According to the conspiracy theorists, Tesla had developed a time machine, which was later discovered by John G. Trump and entrusted to his nephew, Donald J. Trump.

249 pages! Other comments said that it was released a year ago. Can someone write about the juicy stuff?

Nikola* Sorry for being picky about it, but I always think that we should respect people enough to spell their names correctly!

Wouldn't expect anything else but exactitude from Mr. Hari Seldon

Why do I see "We're sorry... The request has been blocked." when I try to open this site? Anyone else see it?

I can see it normally when I access through Tor.

Do you even John Titor?

John Titor was a Time Traveler (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Titor).

If you like anime, Steins;Gate uses John Titor as a plot device (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=7729)

I get similarly annoyed that Maria Skłodowska-Curie is known only as Maria Curie pretty much everywhere, even though she was very particular about including the Polish portion of her surname on all of her work.

Why does the FBI have all these files on Nikola Tesla?

My paraphrase of page two with a direct quote: He possibly did stuff important to us and "other nations controlled by insane dictators." We should consider watching him and protecting him.

No time traveller but he is living in the wrong decade.

The title is misleading. The FBI 'released' these documents to the public over a year ago.

Thanks, we've updated the title from the submitted “FBI Releases Nikola Tesla Documents”.
