The Simpsons Did Not Predict Elon Musk Replacing Trump as U.S. President

Recently, multiple videos have circulated claiming that the sitcom series The Simpsons predicted a scenario in which Elon Musk becomes president of the United States — a storyline repeated across clips with minor variations.

According to the alleged footage, a breaking news segment in the episode announces Trump’s resignation, leading to a special election in which Musk wins by a landslide. In the supposed scene, Musk transforms the White House into a futuristic tech hub filled with scientists and engineers, promising a future of flying cars, robot workers and space travel for all.

The narrative also claims that Musk eventually faces mass protests calling for his resignation.
