Elon Musk took to his personal social media platform on Sunday, rattling off a number of criticisms of Dana Carvey’s Saturday Evening Dwell impression of the tech billionaire.
SNL started its first post-election episode on Saturday evening with a sarcastic try to get on the president-elect’s good aspect, after months of satirizing and spoofing Trump on the identical stage.
“Every single person on this stage, believed in you.” Hernández stated to Trump. “Every single person on this stage voted for you.”
The section ended with Dana Carvey’s impression of Musk, celebrating Trump’s win in entrance of the group of castmembers. On X — previously Twitter — later that evening, Musk wrote in response to the bit that “SNL has been dying slowly for years, as they become increasingly out of touch with reality.”
He added, “Their last-ditch effort to cheat the equal airtime requirements and prop up Kamala before the election only helped sink her campaign further,” which is a reference to final week’s back-and-forth over Kamala Harris’ look on SNL, which FCC Brendan Carr falsely claimed was a violation of the equal time provision. NBC subsequently gave Trump free business time in response to the problem.
Beneath a separate put up of Carvey’s impression, Musk — who hosted SNL himself in 2021 — wrote, “Dana Carvey just sounds like Dana Carvey.” Elsewhere, he wrote, “They are so mad that @realDonaldTrump won.”
Invoice Burr hosted Saturday’s episode, telling the group he was “so psyched that this election is over. Took forever.” He added, “Everybody knew who they were voting for four years ago and then they just drag you through a year and a half of this stuff.”
