Elon Musk and 'Rick and Morty' creators met IRL at the SpaceX headquarters

Wubba lubba dub-dub!

Elon Musk believes there's a one in billions chance that we live in a simulated reality. To demonstrate that the singularity is coming soon to our level of the Matrix, he just hang out IRL with the nihilistic, genius authors of Rick and Morty.

Call it fate or quantum probability, the Tesla mogul and the Netflix-distributed, Adult Swim animated sci-fi comedy's founders Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland were destined to meet after flirting at the limits of the Twitter-verse (making all of us uncomfortable).

Rick and Morty official Twitter account tweeted pictures of Harmon and Roiland plus writer Mike McMahan with Musk at the SpaceX headquarters. Look at these nerdy buddies hanging out like it's NBD. Wubba lubba dub-dub!

Our friend Elon also posted on Instagram more pictures of himself and Roiland flashing a thumbs up after saying Wubba lubba dub-dub (so don't trust those smiles, they're probably in great pain according to birdpeople's tongue)

Rick (((and Morty))) crew at SpaceX!! Nerd overload ...
