Via a Bloomburg story, Musk says the experience of taping the Simpsons episode for Sunday’s airing was enjoyable, and “kind of trippy”.
We also get some interesting details:
“The episode begins, naturally enough, with Musk traveling through space in a craft of his own design. He’s taking the genius engineer version of a Sunday drive because he’s struggling to come up with new ideas. Then, by happenstance, Musk lands in the Simpson’s backyard and meets Homer. “Homer then becomes this incredible inspiration to him,” said Al Jean, the head writer and show runner for The Simpsons.”
Also, the show is not without it’s jabs, apparently:
“another choice moment when Smithers first introduces Musk to Burns. Smithers tells Burns, “I’d like to introduce you to this man who is revolutionizing the car industry, and Burns replies, ‘Henry Ford, good to see you. You’re as healthy and vibrant as Detroit.’ “
