Elon Musk Slams Dana Carvey’s ‘SNL’ Impression of Him As He Claims Show Has Been ‘Dying Slowly’
Elon Musk does not appear to be a fan of Dana Carvey’s impression of him, which was debuted on the most recent episode of “Saturday Night Live.” On Nov. 9, the “SNL” alum, who has been regularly starring as President Joe Biden, showed off his Elon Musk impersonation during the show’s cold open in which he was dressed in the outfit that the Tesla co-founder wore at Donald Trump’s controversial Madison Square Garden Rally on Oct. 27. The comedian also mimicked the billionaire’s behavior from a different Trump rally where he jumped up and down numerous times on stage. However, Musk did not seem impressed with his portrayal, writing in a response on X, “SNL has been dying slowly for years, as they become increasingly out of touch with reality. Their last-ditch effort to cheat the equal airtime requirements and prop up Kamala before the election only helped sink her campaign further.” Musk was referring to criticisms from Republican FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr over Vice President Kamala Harris’ appearance on “Saturday Night Live” prior to the election, bringing up an equal air time rule. However, NBC then aired a message from Trump during a NASCAR race and NFL game. Additionally, under a different X post, the 53-year-old replied, “Dana Carvey just sounds like Dana Carvey,” and under another, wrote, “They are so mad that @realDonaldTrump won,” adding two crying-laughing emojis.
