Internet spirals as Red Hot Chili Peppers apparently predicted Nvidia spy scandal

Red Hot Chili Peppers fans say a line from the band's 1999 hit “Californication” eerily predicted the alleged spy scandal that brought down Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on Thursday.

The internet couldn't get over how closely the reported "honeypot trap" involving Huang was similar to song lyrics written by the band members from more than 25 years ago: "Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation."

The Nvidia CEO, who has close ties with President Donald Trump’s White House, resigned effective immediately Thursday, days after admitting to an extramarital affair with a woman U.S. officials suspect of spying for China. Nvidia has announced it will launch an independent investigation.

The internet reacted to the espionage scandal — and potential prediction. Some even compared it to "The Simpsons" predicting the future.

"Simpsons level of prediction on this track," one user noted on social media.

"Life imitates art," another user wrote.

"Simpsons moment," another person commented.
