Well, yes, you certainly could, but as to whether or not this would be a practical Tesla coil power supply or whether the Tesla coil would function properly - 'um no. A Tesla coil circuit needs a STEADY supply of high voltage AC or filtered DC of sufficient power to nearly fully recharge the primary capacitor within a few hundred microseconds, multiple 10's to 100's of times every second - hardly indicative of the typical, once every several second pulsed output of a Marx generator.

Can you place a Marx generator to the primary on a Tesla coil?

Maybe something as some capacitors charged in parallel through chokes by a transformer, with spark gaps as in a Marx, connected directly to the primary coil. Would be equivalent to using several capacitors in series and a multiple spark gap in a conventional system. The primary voltage would be higher than with just the transformer. May be a practical way to use relatively low-voltage transformers with high short-circuit current (microwave, maybe). The construction of the chokes seems to be the only inconvenient.
