Saturday Night Live cast member Jeremy Culhane unveiled his impression of Elon Musk last night, depicting the SpaceX and Tesla CEO as an awkward loser who fumbles his attempt to befriend the hosts of Weekend Update.<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t the first time the show has lampooned the world\u2019s richest man (and one-time SNL host), with Mike Myers stopping by occasionally to wield a chainsaw before freezing and muttering, \u201cGlitch!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since Musk was in the news this week for spending half a billion dollars on candidates who lost in the midterms, then announcing plans to halt Cybertruck production, it\u2019s maybe not surprising that Culhane\u2019s version is a little less obnoxious and a little more desperate to be liked, doing his best to laugh off his setbacks and remind the audience, \u201cMy car did a flip!\u201d<\/p>\n
Eventually, Weekend Update co-host Colin Jost asks a pointed question about Musk\u2019s week: \u201cYou moved to Texas because California was run by Democrats. You moved all your companies to Texas because you didn\u2019t want to pay taxes. You even built your own town in Texas. And now Texas is run by Democrats. Now you\u2019re going to have to pay taxes. So how does that make you feel?\u201d<\/p>\n
Culhane nods along with each step of the question,<\/p>\n
