Simpson/ Did they predict the future of Elon Musk?

The prophecies of the popular American series "The Simpsons" have gone viral several times.

The latter places billionaire Elon Musk in the castle. On Sunday, October 29, the episode "Thirst Trap: A Corporate Love Story" aired, where Burns falls in love with a young CEO, Persephone, and for her birthday, he buys her... Twitter.

When Persephone asks her lover to answer some questions for her, Mr. Burns tells her that he bought the social network at a "bargain price" after "the previous owner had to sell it because his rocket that was going to Mars crashed into the International Space Station."

The part that appears:

Charles Montgomery aka Burns opens the show talking to the camera about Persephone - played by Elizabeth Banks - a con artist who manages to trick him into funding her very dubious project, which she claims is turning salt water in drinking. In the end, Burns spent sums of money on the company and then called on his friends to invest in it.

During the party, Burns gives her an envelope containing a card with a blue bird on it. Persephone then asks if it was a gift card on Twitter with Charles Montgomery saying, "No, I bought you the whole company." Later in the episode we see the pair giving an interview and being asked about the negative comments about Persephone disappearing from the social network after they took over its operation.

Elon Musk's name may not be mentioned in the show, but he is, as we all know, the owner of X - ex-Twitter - who, through the space company Space X, wants to send rockets to Mars. It is worth noting that the tycoon appeared as a guest on The Simpsons in 2015. Specifically, then he appeared in the episode titled "The Musk Who Fell to Earth"./ CNA
