It's hard to imagine Musk cracking scripted jokes, and maybe even harder to imagine how he'll be portrayed in sketches. Still, it's fair to say many were shocked when SNL announced Musk would host the May 8 show, with Miley Cyrus returning for her sixth SNL stint as musical guest. Even then-presidential candidate Donald Trump hosted in 2015. Athletes such as Nancy Kerrigan and Lance Armstrong have hosted the show, as have politicians such as Rudy Giuliani and Al Gore. Musk also named his actually-a-thing tunnel-digging business The Boring Company.Īnd he's not the only non-actor to host the NBC sketch comedy. And the tweets - including the one where Musk's head was Photoshopped onto the Rock's body. And then there are the viral moments: taking a toke on Joe Rogan's podcast, that could-almost-have-been-a-comedy-routine Cybertruck demo. He's had cameos in Iron Man 2, The Simpsons and Rick and Morty - as Elon Tusk. Musk is certainly no stranger to the spotlight (or to cracking a joke).

The company's Lucid Air sedan might beat Tesla's Model S Plaid Plus to market and be the first electric car on sale with a range of over 500 miles, so it's pretty smart to advertise to an audience that's probably pretty aware of Tesla already. Guess who is making an appearance during #SNL tomorrow? #LucidAir #Firstto500 /aXquKSEND6- Lucid Motors May 7, 2021 "Elon Musk hosting SNL is huge for guys still making 'that's what she said' jokes who think they'd be great at hosting SNL," wrote comedian and author Josh Gondelman. "Bet it's enough to finance SNL's entire 2021-'22 season." "I wonder how much Musk paid NBC and Lorene Michaels for the gig," one Twitter user wrote, referring to SNL creator Lorne Michaels.
In 2019, a jury concluded Musk's words did not defame Unsworth.
But when British cave explorer Vernon Unsworth criticized Musk's idea, Musk called Unsworth a "pedo guy" in a tweet. In 2018, Musk became involved in plans to rescue a Thai boys' soccer team trapped in a cave, flying in a team of engineers and proposing using a mini-submarine to save them. Grimes, who shares a son with Musk, defended him on TikTok this week when commenters attacked Musk over issues involving the environment and women's rights, while admitting he's definitely "been very immature at points on Twitter." The tweet references the meme-themed cryptocurrency Dogecoin, which Musk has tweeted and talked about before.īaby Shark & Shark Tank merge to form Baby Shark Tank- Elon Musk Fan reaction He's been tweeting reminders, including one in which he dubs himself the Dogefather. Musk seems pretty pleased to be hosting the long-running show. Here's a rundown of what to know about Musk's May 8 SNL appearance on NBC. After the dinner, Davidson told a New York radio station that Musk was "really nice," and that the cast members he hangs out with are "all excited and really don't understand the controversy." Before the meal, Davidson joked to Meyers that he planned to ask Musk for a Tesla.

"I don't know why people are freaking out," Davidson said. While some SNL cast members aren't thrilled about Musk hosting (see below for details), Pete Davidson appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers on Wednesday and seemed to be a fan. But if sheer fame is a qualifier, Musk fits right in - he has more than 50 million Twitter followers, frequently makes headlines, and is constantly right up there on the list of richest people in the world. The billionaire businessman behind Tesla and SpaceX might seem like a strange choice for the hosting slot, which usually features actors, comedians and other Hollywood celebrities.
