Will Trey Parker Still Be ‘D&D’ Buddies with Elon Musk After This Week’s Ketamine-Filled ‘South Park’?
The most recent episode of South Park, “Sickofancy,” once again roasted president Donald Trump and his insignificant organ, as well as the vast number of wealthy corporate suck-ups who are more than happy to lie about the size of his manhood in exchange for presidential favors.
While cartoon versions of Apple CEO Tim Cook and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg made appearances, the episode only poked fun at Elon Musk through the character of Randy Marsh.

After ICE abducts his Tegridy Farms workforce, Randy (with the help of ChatGPT) decides to turn the company into a tech firm, one which offers an “A.I. platform” for “global solutions.” And, as Randy explains, “just like any tech company,” Techridy ensures that its employees are all “microdosing ketamine.”
Randy’s newfound ketamine habit seems like a pretty conspicuous dig at Musk, another problematic tech CEO, who has previously claimed that the drug is “helpful for getting one out of the negative frame of mind.” Although even Randy Marsh didn’t take so much ketamine that it totally fucked up his bladder, as was the case with Musk according to The New York Times.
Oddly enough, Musk is quite possibly the only Trump-linked billionaire who has historically been very chummy with one of South Park’s creators. Like, games of Dungeons & Dragons-levels of friendly.
“About two months ago, I played D&D with Elon Musk,” Parker revealed during 2016’s San Diego Comic-Con. “That was really fun.”
The Orgazmo star also noted that Musk was very quick in responding to questions about his character prior to the game, immediately insisting that he should be a “Human Paladin.”
Later that year, Musk joined the ranks of Sir Elton John and Robert Smith in becoming one of the few celebrities to voice themselves on the show. While a Season 18 appearance by the Tesla CEO was voiced by Matt Stone, months after the RPG hangout with Parker, Musk guest-starred in three Season 20 episodes after Cartman, Heidi and Butters visit SpaceX.
It was a largely favorable depiction of Musk and his vanity space program, with the possible exception of the moment when Musk tries to take credit for inventing the pizza pocket.
And keep in mind, while this was all playing out, the Trumpified Mr. Garrison was busy transforming into America’s Darth Vader.
Given that Musk recently denied that he’s on urinary-ruining amounts of ketamine, now that “Sickofancy” has aired, it remains to be seen whether or not he’ll be taking his 20-sided dice over to Parker’s house any time soon.
