Who Said It: Elon Musk or Mr. Burns?

The New Republic:

The Simpsons’s Mr. Burns and Elon Musk share an eerie number of similarities. Each is the richest person in his respective universe — Springfield for the former, planet Earth for the latter. They boast about their green energy initiatives of electric cars and nuclear power plants, but use their power to advance right-wing politics and fuel their petty personal grievances. Test yourself below to see how well you can separate our cartoonish reality from the world of The Simpsons.

I scored 92 percent — one wrong. But I had to think about each one, and often voted more on grammar than substance. I know how Monty Burns speaks.
