And fans of the WikiLeaks founder have suggested the post could be a “Dead Man’s Switch” before dumping new secret files.

The computer hacker tweeted the bizarre message with a YouTube video of Mia’s Paper Planes, which includes boasts such as “I got more records than the KGB”.

The posting followed some a bizarre period of activity on his Twitter account @JulianAssange.

It disappeared on Christmas Day between 12am and 1am when people were directed to an error message, but then remerged later the same day.

Assange, who has been residing in the embassy since 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden for questioning over alleged sex attacks, then posted the strange tweet on New Year’s Day

This sparked a wave of speculation, including that the IT genius is now working with US President Donald Trump.

One said: “It signals another Wikileaks drop is imminent."

Another said: “Look for something big on January 4th, 10th, and 20th.

“A lot of us now believe Julian isn't at the embassy any more.

“We believe he's working with Trump."

When Assange’s account was deleted, the US Navy posted a strange tweet reading “Julian Assange” which was swiftly deleted.

WikiLeaks posted a message last week saying that Assange was still at the embassy.

The organisation tweeted: “Despite some oddities from the US Navy and Twitter today and increased physical surveillance @JulianAssange’s physical situation at the embassy remains unaltered – confined without charge in violation of two UN rulings requiring the UK to set him free.”

During his time at the embassy, Assange has struck up a close relationship with Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson.
