On a recent episode of “Saturday Night Live,” the show poked fun at Elon Musk’s influence in President Donald Trump’s White House. The sketch featured James Austin Johnson as Trump and Mike Myers as Musk, with Marcello Hernández as Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The skit parodied the tumultuous relationship between Musk and Rubio, as well as Musk’s reputation for firing employees without much consideration. Trump urged them to work things out, emphasizing the need for domestic harmony in his administration.
The sketch also touched on recent aviation tragedies, with Trump jokingly suggesting that Musk, known for his work with SpaceX and a recent rocket explosion, could be the aviation expert the country needs. There were humorous moments involving references to Rubio’s leadership and Trump’s changing desires, including a shift from wanting control of the Panama Canal to coveting Thailand based on a TV show.
Musk, portrayed as feeling unappreciated and facing a drop in net worth, humorously interacted with Trump and Rubio, highlighting his unease in his role. Despite Musk’s actions within the federal government, including budget cuts and job layoffs, Trump reassured everyone that Musk wasn’t the boss, only for Musk to remind him of the financial support he provided during Trump’s campaign.
The sketch was part of SNL’s satirical take on current events and political figures, with Lady Gaga appearing as the host and musical guest for the evening. SNL, a division of NBCUniversal, continues to provide comedic commentary on the political landscape and societal issues of the day.
