Did The Simpsons predict Musk’s Twitter takeover?
New Twitter boss Elon Musk claims The Simpsons predicted his takeover years ago
Elon Musk has alluded to the fact that The Simpsons predicted his takeover of Twitter in a 2015 episode.
The episode titled “The Musk who fell to Earth” showcases Lisa Simpson feeding birds in a letter box with the label “Home Tweet Home.”
During the episode, Musk flies in on his rocket ship before meeting the Simpsons family.
Before Musk leaves, the show throws to the bird house. Lisa Simpson then says “I guess humanity wants its change one bird house at a time.”
Fans of the series have been quick to jump on its so-called prediction capabilities. They often draw parallels between the episodes and monumental events in history.
Lovers of the show are convinced it predicted Donald Trump’s Presidential run, Disney’s purchase of Fox and the 9/11 attacks.
More recently, they’re certain the show predicted England and America’s 2022 World Cup match in an 1997 episode.
