People think The Simpsons have ‘done it again’ with Elon Musk prediction
One of the ‘bad’ characters from The Simpsons has been compared to Elon Musk by an audience.
The Simpsons Strikes Again: Eerie Elon Musk Prediction Leaves Fans Stunned
Fans are once again marveling at The Simpsons for its uncanny ability to predict real-world events, this time drawing eerie parallels between a classic character and tech mogul Elon Musk.
The long-running animated series has gained a reputation for foreseeing major historical moments, from Donald Trump’s presidency to a global pandemic. Now, viewers believe The Simpsons has “done it again” by seemingly foreshadowing Musk’s latest headline-making antics.
The billionaire’s recent chainsaw-wielding stunt has been compared to Hank Scorpio, the show’s infamous supervillain. As clips of both circulate online, fans can’t help but ask—does The Simpsons have a crystal ball, or is reality simply catching up with fiction?
Elon Musk’s Chainsaw Stunt Sparks The Simpsons Comparison
Tech billionaire Elon Musk turned heads at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Thursday (February 19) when he took to the stage wielding a chainsaw. As he addressed political issues—including his claim that Joe Biden has “failed” to recover stranded astronauts—audiences couldn’t ignore the theatrical display.
Musk’s chainsaw act appeared to be a nod to his latest role as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, symbolizing his intent to “cut through bureaucracy.” However, fans of The Simpsons quickly pointed out an uncanny resemblance between Musk and Hank Scorpio, the show’s infamous supervillain from the episode You Only Move Twice.
In the episode, Homer moves his family to a seemingly idyllic town after landing a new job, only to realize his charismatic boss—Scorpio—is actually a maniacal mastermind plotting world domination. Given Musk’s eccentric persona and ambitious ventures, social media erupted with comparisons, once again fueling the belief that The Simpsons has a knack for predicting the future.
Elon Musk’s Flamethrower Past Fuels The Simpsons Villain Comparisons
One of the most striking similarities between Elon Musk and The Simpsons’ infamous villain, Hank Scorpio, lies in their shared affinity for over-the-top weaponry. In the show’s climactic scene, Scorpio is seen firing a flamethrower—an eerie coincidence considering Musk famously sold flamethrowers in 2018, raking in an estimated $10 million.
The tech mogul himself has even acknowledged the resemblance. In a 2019 post on X, Musk joked, “Just because he has a flamethrower and I have a flamethrower does not mean… um… ok fine I’m Hank Scorpio.”
Now, with Musk taking on a more prominent political role following his appointment by President Trump, the comparisons have only intensified. Social media users have latched onto the latest Simpsons “prediction,” with one person noting, “There’s literally an episode where Elon Musk takes over Springfield. And now he’s basically doing the same thing. The Simpsons are always right.”
Elon Musk’s Simpsons Transformation Sparks Debate Amid Family Controversy
The internet is buzzing with comparisons between Elon Musk and The Simpsons’ iconic villain, Hank Scorpio. One user bluntly stated, “Elon Musk is Hank Scorpio,” while another added, “He’s officially entered the Hank Scorpio stage of being a billionaire.” A more critical take came from someone who remarked, *“Musk talks a big game about high-minded sci-fi, but the only fictional world he’s actually managed to bring to life is The Simpsons.”
Beyond the memes and jokes, Musk has also been making headlines for his personal life. He recently faced criticism for bringing three of his children—X Æ A-12 (4), Azure (3), and Strider (3)—to a political conference in India, where they met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 13th.
Adding to the controversy, his ex-partner Grimes made a public plea for Musk to stop “ignoring their child’s medical crisis,” only to delete the tweets shortly after. While Musk’s business ventures and political moves continue to dominate the news, it’s clear his personal life is also under intense public scrutiny.
