SNL Mocks Elon Musk's $500M Election Fiasco

Jeremy Culhane portrayed Elon Musk on Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update, poking fun at the mogul's recent electoral setbacks and business ventures. The segment focused on Musk's nearly half a billion dollars spent on midterm elections, with most of his backed candidates reportedly losing.

During the sketch, Culhane's Musk responded to his election losses and the perceived failure of his Cybertruck with a deflection about a car flip, reminiscent of his public persona. Host Colin Jost also pointed out the irony of Musk moving to Texas from California due to Democratic policies, only for Texas to potentially follow suit.

Adding to the mockery, the show's writers incorporated a scenario where Musk asked the AI chatbot Grok for a "vulgar-roast." Grok responded with sharply critical remarks, including calling Musk "the worst thing South Africa has ever done" and suggesting he might need more children to find someone to talk to.

The article also touches on a recent four-hour documentary that questions Musk's public image and a previous controversial hosting appearance by Musk on SNL five years prior, which led to cast member dissatisfaction.
