Elon Musk spotted in ‘The Big Bang Theory’ – Truth or Rumour?
Elon Musk is a famous industrial designer and engineer who is also the founder of SpaceX and the CEO of car manufacturing company Tesla. Though TBBT follows the story of a scientist, Sheldon Cooper, and his friends, there have been some major guest appearances from big names in the field of science throughout the series, and Elon Musk is one of them.
Yes, you read that right. It’s okay if you are baffled. Even we were not able to trust the talks. But regardless of our capacity to digest it, the fact is that Elon Musk has starred in ‘The Big Bang Theory’. Due to his connections to the field of science, it was not difficult to understand why the creators of the show were quick to snap him up for a cameo.
Elon Musk did a cameo in TBBT
In ‘The Big Bang Theory’, Elon Musk featured in the ninth episode of the ninth season titled “The Platonic Permutation“. Elon meets Howard Wolowitz, an engineer and one-time astronaut while volunteering at a homeless shelter on Thanksgiving day, serving Thanksgiving dinner. Space-related banter follows with Howard telling Musk his desire to go to Mars. To which a slightly crestfallen Musk says, “We’re not quite there yet, but we are always looking for engineers”.
Musk had a good time with his guest spot, and the scene between Howard and Elon delighted the audience, especially the nerds and Teslaholics, for the entire two and a half minutes. The cameo ends with a sportive Musk asking fanboy Howard Wolowitz if he wants to share a leftover pumpkin pie at the sink. Besides this episode, Musk is seen in another episode named “The Military Miniaturization” where he passes by Sheldon who is busy discussing Elon’s theory that the world as we know it could all be a part of an alien video game.
