Elon Musk Brutally Roasted by 'SNL' Weekend Update Over Midterms Defeat
Variety • • entertainment
Key Points:
- On "Saturday Night Live," Jeremy Culhane portrayed an unhinged Elon Musk who struggled to address the results of the midterm elections, where despite Musk spending nearly $500 million supporting Republican candidates, many Texas statewide races turned Democratic.
- The sketch humorously referenced Musk's recent news, including a Tesla car flipping and the halting of Cybertruck production, with Musk repeatedly deflecting questions by obsessing over these events.
- Colin Jost highlighted Musk's move to Texas to avoid Democratic California taxes and criticized the irony of Texas now being run by Democrats, implying Musk may face higher taxes after all.
- The character Musk introduced "epic vulgar roasts" generated by his AI Grok, which humorously insulted Musk himself, leading to a comedic exit from the "Weekend Update" segment.
