Matt Groening, the brainchild behind The Simpsons, has offered a speculative outlook on the destiny of Elon Musk’s electric Tesla vehicles.
The iconic animated series has gained notoriety for its uncanny ability to foresee the future, such as predicting Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidency. During the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, creator Matt Groening jokingly shared additional forecasts, one of which focused on Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.
The Simpsons’ Matt Groening pokes fun at Elon Musk hate
Groening was questioned about The Simpsons’ history of making fun of events in the future that eventually come true. As reported by Deadline, the cartoonist playfully claimed that the “theories” suggesting the show is accurate are indeed correct, and he offered additional “forecasts.
According to Groening, “The Statue of Liberty would go back to France when the term ‘freedom’ is forgotten by everyone in America,” and he stated that “electric vehicles will tap into a novel energy source fueled by antipathy towards Elon Musk.” (This version retains the original meaning but uses simpler language and more modern terminology.)
Elon Musk has had an encounter with Groening and The Simpsons before. In fact, he made a guest appearance on the episode ‘The Musk Who Fell to Earth’ during season 26, which aired in 2015. At that time, Musk was not as controversial as he is now.
After acquiring Twitter and renaming it X, Musk has been using the platform to support the reelection of Donald Trump as U.S. President. However, his favor with the administration he helped elect has diminished due to a string of posts criticizing Trump’s latest tax and spending bill. This led Musk to suggest that Trump was mentioned in the Epstein files, stirring controversy once more.
