The Simpsons<\/a> creator Matt Groening<\/a> jokingly made predictions about Elon Musk<\/a>, the Statue of Liberty and Republican parents at San Diego Comic-Con<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, July 26, Groening joined The Simpsons producers Matt Selman<\/a> and Mike Price, director Matt Faughnan and consulting producer\/director David Silverman for a panel discussing Season 37<\/a> of the Fox<\/a> animated series.<\/p>\n

During the chat, Selman responded to a deepfake meme about The Simpsons predicting the viral<\/a> Coldplay<\/a> kiss cam moment<\/a>. (It didn\u2019t.)<\/p>\n

\u201cWho could be so dumb?\u201d Selman pointed out per Variety<\/a>. \u201cOf all our 800 episodes we did, that those two dumb white folks \u2014 I don\u2019t what to call, the takes are done \u2014 like, who could think, who has such little reactive intelligence that this is in The Simpsons? And of course, the answer is hundreds and hundreds of millions of people!\u201d<\/p>\n

He then advised fans, \u201cWhen you see something that claims to be a Simpsons prediction, just think for one second. Could that have possibly been on the show? That\u2019s all, just think one second and then comment on the thing, \u2018They are magic, they\u2019re wizards, they did it again.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, Groening weighed in on fake claims of The Simpsons predicting certain events.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are time travelers,\u201d he quipped, before issuing a series of wild forecasts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Simpsons predicts Elon Musk<\/a> will be the first man to land on Mars,\u201d he joked. \u201cAmazingly, he will crash land on Mars. But he will radio back that he is marooned there forever. And most emotionally of all, he will be able to hear the cheering all the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

On top of that, Groening comically predicted, \u201cAmerica will return the Statue of Liberty to France and North America remembers what the word Liberty means.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also declared, \u201cThe Simpsons predicts kids across America will liberate their Republican parents from the cult of MAGA. And here\u2019s how you do it. Grab the TV remote, go to menu, go to controls, vertical controls, look for channel list and delete Fox News.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thankfully for fans, Groening shared there is \u201cno end in sight\u201d when it comes to The Simpsons. Season 37 will kick off in fall 2025, although a premiere date has not yet been announced. The show has already been renewed through Season 40.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to go until somebody dies,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen you know who dies, The Simpsons predicts there will be dancing in the streets. Except President [JD] Vance<\/a> will ban dancing.\u201d<\/p>\n
