The summary - Elon was the only bright spot of the entire night (shocking, I know...)
[NY Post] - Elon Musk hosted "Saturday Night Live" this week like a man with nothing to lose.
That’s probably because his net worth is $166 billion. What’s a 90-minute-long sketch show to a man with an income greater than some countries’ defense budgets?
But 49-year-old Musk had been under pressure for weeks. He was the most controversial guest host of "SNL" since then-presidential candidate Donald Trump in 2015.
The Tesla and SpaceX entrepreneur appeared amid a flurry of anger because of his enormous wealth and his early pandemic skepticism. Cast members Andrew Dismukes, Bowen Yang and Aidy Bryant wrote critical tweets leading up to Musk’s gig, and there were reports that they might even opt out of the episode entirely in protest.
The boycott never happened. Yang appeared alongside Musk in multiple segments, the deafening fracas fizzled out and we got yet another mediocre episode of "SNL". |
