Elon Musk has slammed Dana Carvey’s impression of him on the recent episode of Saturday Night Live. The episode mocked Donald Trump’s victory in the US elections.
The episode's cold opening, hosted by Bill Blur, showcased the SNL characters begging Trump not to list them as his “political enemies” as they claimed they always had Trump’s back. The sketch starts with Bowen Yang, Ego Nwodim, Kenan Thompson, and Heidi Gardner discussing the election results.
Dana Carvey mimicked Elon Musk in the show. He enthusiastically jumps up and down, lampooning Musk’s gesture when campaigning for Trump. He says, "Check it out, dark MAGA... But seriously, I run the country now."
“America’s going to be like one of my rockets. They’re super cool and super fun, but there’s a slight chance it could blow up and everybody dies. Haha!” Carvey says while mimicking Musk on the show.
Elon Musk was quick to react. In a few hours, he took to social media to express his disapproval of the SNL Show and its cast.
Taking to Twitter, Musk wrote,
“They are so mad that @realDonaldTrump won.”
His tweet comes in response to Carvey portraying as his version on the show. He wears a dark gothic MAGA hat similar to the one Musk wore in several appearances.
Musk didn’t stop here. In another tweet, he took a dig at the SNL Show. He wrote that the show has been dying for years because it is “out of touch with reality.” He continued to write that their last episode on Kamala Harris only sank her campaign further.
In another response to the sketch, Musk lashes out at Carvey and wrote,
“Dana Carvey just sounds like Dana Carvey.”
The show continued to amuse fans as they introduced James Austin Johnson as a "hot jacked" Donald Trump. He enters the sketch, flexing his fake muscles as he declares, “They finally got the body right.”
