Elon Musk Responds to Dana Carvey’s ‘SNL’ Impression

On By Littum

Thin-skinned as usual, Elon Musk does his best impression of Donald Trump in his anger over Dana Carvey’s recently revealed impression of him.

Hours after the comic legend appeared Saturday Night LiveIn this weekend’s post-election episode, the world’s richest man took to the social media platform he owns to whine about the gridiron and the state of the long-running Lorne Micheal’s show in general.

He wrote on X“SNL have been dying a slow death for years as they become more and more out of touch with reality. Their latest attempt to cheat the same airtime demands and support Kamala before the election only served to sink her campaign further.”

“They are so mad that @realDonaldTrump won,” Musk added in another post with two crying laughing emojis in response to photos of Carvey wearing his “dark gothic MAGA hat”.

Musk, who previously hosted the show with impressive ratings during Season 46 in 2021, also took issue with Carvey’s impression of him. “Dana Carvey just sounds like Dana Carvey,” he added in another post.

Carvey’s impression came during the episode’s cold open, in which the cast jokingly turned on Trump after the president-elect threatened his opponents, calling Democrats “the enemy from within.” They then introduced James Austin Johnson’s flattering new “Hot Jacked Trump,” as well as Carvey as “the other man we love and trust, Elon Musk.”

“Alright!” Carvey said as he jumped and danced around the stage and pointed to his hat. “Check it out, dark MAGA. Yeah! But seriously, I run the country now. America will be like one of my rockets that’s super cool and super fun. But there’s a small chance it might explode, and all die.”

Carvey laughed in character as Musk before jumping up and down more and yelling: “I’m dark MAGA! Steal the White House! USA! USA!”

The skit comes after Musk campaigned for Trump in the black MAGA cap while giddily jumping up and down at the twice-impeached president’s rally in Pennsylvania last month. He also began offering daily gifts of $1 million to sway state voters.

Trump has since said that although Musk “don’t want to be in the cabinet,” he “dies” after being “responsible for cost-cutting.”

Oddly enough, while Musk complained about being mussed up SNLthe 45th and soon to be 47th POTUS has said nothing so far. Perhaps Trump appreciated the pledges of allegiance, even in jest, or James Austin Johnson’s now shirtless bandana wearing Trump.

That said, we’ll update this post if Trump responds
