LOL! Musk reminds Twitter he was on The Simpsons. The ONLY review at Rotten Tomatoes:

The show arguably hit its lowest point with 2015's 'The Musk Who Fell to Earth' in which famous not-an-actor, Elon Musk, fumbled his way through 22-minutes of misguided hero-worship with the emotive range of a man attempting to perform a play written in binary code.


Yet desperate-for-attention Musk doesn't want anyone forgetting that he was on The Simpsons.

Wikipedia - https://wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Musk_Who_Fell_to_Earth - referred to some other reviews agreeing that the episode and Musk weren't funny, that it was a fawning love letter to him (so of course Musk would think it's great).

Wikipedia's already noted, and critiqued, Musk's tweet today, right below the comments about those bad reviews.






EDITING to add a video clip I just found on YouTube. I can really understand the reviews now. I don't understand Musk thinking it was cool to remind people of what apparently was the worst Simpsons episode ever.
