"The Musk Who Fell to Earth" is the twelfth episode of the twenty-sixth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons, and the 564th overall episode of the series. The episode was directed by Matthew Nastuk and written by Neil Campbell. It first aired on the Fox network in the United States on January 25, 2015.

In this episode, Elon Musk comes to Springfield and convinces Mr. Burns to build a new power plant. When he learns it is losing money, Burns seeks revenge. Businessman Elon Musk guest starred as himself. The episode received negative reviews.

Plot

The episode begins with Lisa tending to a birdhouse, which is shortly thereafter attacked by a bald eagle. While the family is admiring the eagle, it takes hold of Maggie and attempts to fly away before she is wrestled back by Homer, who has his hair stolen by the bird instead. The family then hatches a plan to capture the eagle so that they can eat it. Bart and Milhouse set up a trap using the boardgame Mousetrap, with the eagle taking the bait and entering the house to capture the mouse. Once inside, Homer and the bird wrestle again before Bart eventually smothers it and Homer with a plastic bag. Upon escaping the bag, Homer proceeds to beat the trapped bird before Lisa convinces him to instead nurse it to health and release it. After some time has passed, Homer releases the bird, but it is almost immediately incinerated by flames after take-off. Elon Musk lands with his Dragon 2 spacecraft into the Simpsons' backyard. Musk explains that he came to Springfield because he is looking for a source of inspiration. Homer insists that Musk comes to the power plant. The next day, Musk discovers that Homer is filled with new ideas for inventions, and so meets Mr. Burns and convinces him to build a magnet-to-hydrodynamic generator for the plant. Burns wants to hire Musk, but he refuses, saying that he does not care about the money.

Musk and Burns explain to the town that the plant has come up with plans for the city's electrical needs, including self-driving cars. However, Smithers is suspicious about Musk's intentions. Bart and Lisa sneak into the family's car and disable the auto-drive mode using Musk's master password, and go for a joyride. They end up at the plant, where Musk also explains that the town is losing roughly $50 million a quarter, much to Burns' horror. Musk explains to Burns that his true intention was to save the Earth. Angered at Musk's actions, Burns announces to his employees that there will be massive layoffs, and plots to kill Musk. Homer is also horrified because Musk caused Lenny, Carl and many other power plant employees to be fired, but Marge advises him to end his friendship with Musk gently.

The next day, while Musk is discussing his ideas for inventions with Homer, Burns attempts to assassinate him. Though the bullet accidentally aims in Homer's way, Musk saves him. Homer gratefully thanks him, but he admits to Musk that he needs to end their friendship. The Simpsons say goodbye to Musk as he boards his rocket to space, musing that he will miss Homer's last thoughts to him. To make up for Homer's and Lisa's sadness at his departure, he gives the family a futuristic birdhouse (similar to the birdhouse from the start of the episode).

Production

The episode was written by Neil Campbell, a freelance writer.^[1] It guest stars Elon Musk as himself. Executive producer Al Jean stated they tried to make the episode not a "kiss-ass" guest star turn, and the episode contains many jabs at Musk's perceived egotism. Musk was a fan of the series, having watched the show since attending university. He guest starred on the show because he and executive producer James L. Brooks had a meeting, after which Brooks was convinced he wanted a fictional version of Musk on the show.^[2]

Reception

The episode received an audience of 3.29 million, making it the most watched show on Fox that night.^[3] Dennis Perkins of The A.V. Club gave the episode a C, saying "‘The Musk Who Fell to Earth’ plays out more like a love letter to Musk than a proper Simpsons episode. It's like some Simpsons writers met Musk at a TED talk, got smitten when they found out Musk was a fan, and turned an episode of the show over to him. Which would be less of a problem if the episode were well-thought-out and funny, Musk were an engaging comic presence, or the Simpsons themselves weren't relegated to supporting status on their own show."^[4]

In 2022, The Guardian said the episode was "perhaps the most fawning" of Musk's celebrity media cameos.^[5]

In November 2022 Musk claimed in a tweet that the episode correctly predicted his acquisition of Twitter, due to a scene where Lisa Simpson feeds birds that are in a birdhouse in Simpson's backyard with a sign that reads "Home Tweet Home". In reality, this scene was not a direct reference to Twitter and occurs before Musk appears in the episode. Though it was also noted by The Independent that the subplot of Mr. Burns laying off a portion of the Springfield Power Plant's staff due to Musk, is similar to Musk's real life mass Twitter layoffs that occurred soon after his acquisition of the platform.^[6]^[7]

-[[Elon Musk]] lands with his [[SpaceX Dragon 2|Dragon 2 spacecraft]] into the [[Simpson family|Simpsons']] backyard. While eating dinner with them, [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] asks why Musk is in [[Springfield (The Simpsons)|Springfield]]. He responds by revealing that the purpose for his stay in Springfield is that he is looking for inspiration. To this, [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] invites him to tag along with him to the power plant. The next day, during the car ride to the power plant, Elon discovers that Homer is the source of new ideas for inventions, as his "Homerisms" (according to [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]]) quickly inspire him. At the power plant, Elon inspires [[Mr. Burns]] to install a [[magnetohydrodynamic generator]] to the plant, through a suggestion. Burns meets Musk directly, and attempts to hire him, but Elon rejects the offer as he does not care about the money (much to Burns' surprise).
-Musk and Burns announce to the town that the power plant has devised new plans for the town's electrical needs (such as [[Groundskeeper Willie|Willie]] spinning a wheel, the Springfield [[Hyperloop]], and Musk's latest project, the Glayvinator). Despite the town's cheer to this, [[Waylon Smithers|Smithers]] remains suspicious about Elon Musk. It is also announced that Elon invented a brand of self-driving vehicles for Springfield. [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] sneaks into his family's car to disable the auto-drive mode, requiring Musk's master password. He and Lisa go for a joyride in the car, where they land at the power plant, where there is another announcement by Musk. Musk reveals that the town is currently losing roughly $50&nbsp;million a quarter, much to Burns' horror. Musk explains to Burns that the true intention was to save the Earth. Thanks to Musk, Burns announces to his employees that there will be massive layoffs. Burns then apologizes to an injured Smithers for getting the hounds to attack him (rather than apologize for not believing Smithers in his true suspicion of Musk), and reveals his plot to kill him. Homer, however, is upset, because his ex-friend Musk caused the whole escapade that led to Burns unemploying [[Lenny and Carl|Lenny]], [[Lenny and Carl|Carl]], and the other power plant employees (rather than the fact that his friends are unemployed and it is kind of his fault). Marge advises him to break up with Musk gently.

-The next day, while Elon is discussing his ideas for inventions with Homer, Burns attempts to assassinate him. Though the bullet accidentally aims in Homer's way, Musk saves him. Homer gratefully thanks him, but he admits to Musk that he wants to break up with him as best friends. To this, the two share one last hug and one last Homer-inspiration: he tells Musk that the little dolphin on the helmet of the [[Miami Dolphins]] is also wearing a helmet (although this was no longer accurate by the time this episode aired, since the team replaced that logo design before the [[2013 Miami Dolphins season|2013 season]]). The Simpson family say goodbye to Musk, as he boards his rocket to space. He returns to return Lisa, who attempted to stowaway into the rocket. To make up for Lisa's sadness, he gives the family a futuristic birdhouse (similar to the birdhouse from the start of the episode). Elon then departs, and states there are some things he will miss—such as Homer's last thoughts to him—as he drifts through the quiet, still blackness of outer space.
