Elon Musk knocks Dana Carvey impression on ‘dying’ ‘Saturday Night Live’

0

Tech billionaire Elon Musk slammed actor Dana Carvey's impression of him on “Saturday Night Live” (SNL), saying the comedy show is “dying.”

“SNL has been dying slowly for years, as they become increasingly out of touch with reality,” Musk posted to X, the social platform he owns.

Musk criticized the show for its “last-ditch effort” to “cheat the equal airtime requirements.”

Vice President Harris made a brief appearance on "SNL" ahead of the election. Following her appearance, NBC offered former President Trump time on-air as part of the Federal Communications Commission’s “equal time” rule that allows rival candidates to ask for airtime if they want it.

In Saturday’s episode, the cast jokingly appealed to Trump in the cold open. "SNL" alum Carvey, who has appeared as President Biden in recent sketches, impersonated Musk in the sketch.

Carvey jumped up and down with his arms pumping, referencing when Musk came on stage at a Trump rally last month.

“Check it out, dark MAGA,” Carvey, as Musk, said in the sketch.

In a separate post, Musk criticized Carvey’s performance, saying “Dana Carvey just sounds like Dana Carvey.”

Musk, who hosted "SNL" in 2021, also said the show is “so mad” Trump won the election.
