Washington: Once again, The Simpsons have achieved the impossible!
In a recent tweet, Elon Musk revealed how the Simpsons predicted his Twitter takeover back in 2015.
Elon Musk shared a photo of the animated sitcom episode from 2015 that seemed to allude to his purchase of Twitter.
"Simpson's predicts I buy Twitter S26E12," tweeted Musk.

According to New York Post, the opening scene of the episode, "The Musk Who Fell to Earth," features Lisa Simpson taking care of a birdhouse with the sign, "Home Tweet Home." When a bald eagle catches and kills some baby birds, she is feeding them. Musk enters the scene in his rocket ship as the eagle soars out into the distance. The eagle, a cherished American symbol, is destroyed by the aircraft's fire.
"Brace yourselves, family. We are about to meet a being with intelligence far beyond ours," Homer Simpson says before directing Bart to grab his baseball bat.
