Elon Musk is more than welcome to guest on Rick and Morty, Dan Harmon confirms

One of Rick and Morty’s biggest supporters is Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of various companies, including the luxury electric car line, Tesla.

Yesterday, Musk entered a lengthy Twitter conversation with the official Rick and Morty account, breaking down singularity and joking about video games. The conversation ended with Musk joking that they could party harder than Pablo Escobar and Kurt Cobain ever could, launching pandemonium on the internet and catching the attention of Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon.

Harmon spoke to Polygon at New York Comic Con about a couple of his series, including the second season of HarmonQuest and the most recent season of Rick and Morty. We were interviewing Harmon while the conversation was occurring on Twitter and asked him the question that so many viewers were tweeting to both Musk and Rick and Morty’s account: Could Musk appear on the fourth season of Rick and Morty?

“Hell yeah,” Harmon said. “He can sleep in my house and hang out with me! I don’t read enough about him to not like him. He’s a guy that wants to make rocket ships, he’s welcome in my home at any time. The moment I really became a fan of his was when [Facebook CEO Mark] Zuckerberg said ‘Elon Musk’s fear of AI is ridiculous.’ Someone tweeted that and Elon Musk tweeted underneath it, ‘I’ve spoken to Mark about this. His understanding of the topic is limited.

“It’s such a great slam!”

Harmon added that he loves Musk is a fan of the series. The fact that Musk is ready to talk to a show’s Twitter account that is mostly used for tweeting jokes as a way to remark on topics like singularity is a mixture of funny, weird and cool.

“It’s so great,” Harmon laughed. “It’s more than him just mentioning the show, it’s him engaging with the account about singularity. Does that mean I get a Tesla? Does anyone that Elon Musk talks to just get a Tesla?”

Harmon said he hasn’t reached out to Musk about anything, but he’s more than open to the idea of bringing the rocket scientist on for the show’s fourth season. Adult Swim hasn’t confirmed that the show is renewed, but Harmon said they’re just finishing the last minute negotiations before the network can announce it.
