Now, interestingly the new CEO of Twitter, Elon Musk has revealed that the show hinted about his takeover of the microblogging platform.

Mr Musk posted a photo from the 26th season's 12th episode, 'The Musk Who Fell to Earth', that appeared to make reference to his purchase of Twitter.
According to the New York Post, the episode begins with Lisa Simpson tending to a birdhouse with the words "Home Tweet Home" written on it.
