Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs surprisingly appears in an alien/human hub in American Horror Story: Death Valley, suggesting the genius may actually be an alien himself. American Horror Story season 10 part 2 adds to the government secrets and manipulations of the U.S. public discussed in Red Tide, with a far more supernatural twist. Death Valley reveals President Dwight Eisenhower made a revolutionary deal with aliens on Earth, allowing the extraterrestrials to abduct and experiment on 500 Americans a year if they help advance the nation’s technology.
The aliens in American Horror Story season 10 differ from Asylum in that they have a very clear mission that isn’t contained to specific test subjects, with anyone they unsuspectedly find becoming an experiment. At the same time, both Asylum and Death Valley’s aliens are focused on impregnating humans they find, trying to create a perfect species. According to AHS season 10, famed missing aviator Amelia Earhart, who notably went missing on a global flight trip, was the aliens’ first test subject back in 1937, with Death Valley continuing to blame more historic mysterious and technological advances on aliens.
In Death Valley’s modern-day timeline, the four impregnated AHS season 10 college student characters are brought to a holding center for humans that have become the aliens’ test subjects. As the characters sit down to eat a jello-like nutrient block, they spot tech guru Steve Jobs, who passed away in 2011, at the next table talking to Leslie Grossman’s character. Strangely, Jobs is the only character in the alien hub not wearing the plain white outfit, as he sits in his memorable black shirt and blue jeans outfit. Unless Jobs became the host of an alien, it doesn’t appear he himself is an alien creature, but was likely one of their early test subjects.
American Horror Story reveals that the aliens impregnate human men and women alike as they strive for a perfect being, which may mean this is what happened to Steve Jobs, with the aliens later rewarding his contribution with the secrets to revolutionary technological advances. Since Sarah Paulson’s First Lady character already thanked the aliens for giving Americans microwaves, it may be that the Macintosh computer, iPhone, and iTunes were also a gift from the aliens, simply introduced under Steve Jobs’ name. What’s really strange about his appearance in Death Valley is that he’s alive in the 2021 timeline at the alien hub, suggesting he never died back in 2011. It’s possible Jobs really did have a technological ingenuity that the aliens wanted to collaborate with, so he’s been living with them for the past decade.
The revelation of Steve Jobs either getting his technological advances from the aliens or being an alien himself continues the idea of talent and creative ingenuity introduced in Red Tide, with showrunner Ryan Murphy’s artistry being described as a product of the black pills. If the trend of some of the most notable creative minds continues in American Horror Story season 10, it wouldn’t be surprising if Elon Musk showed up at the alien hub with the extraterrestrials giving him the layout for Tesla. As modern technologies and mysteries are introduced as alien products in American Horror Story: Death Valley, the series will likely show viewers some new inventions not released to the real public.
