Elon Musk is not amused by the “Saturday Night Live” sketch that featured Dana Carvey impersonating him. After the show aired, Musk took to social media to call out the cast, accusing them of being sore losers after a comedic bit poked fun at him and the political situation.
The “SNL” Cold Open & the Trump Allegiance Sketch
The sketch began with “SNL” cast members pledging their unwavering support for former President Donald Trump, making jokes about their loyalty and suggesting there’s no reason Trump would retaliate against them. The scene took a turn when Kenan Thompson joked about escaping Earth and heading to Mars with Elon Musk, leading to Dana Carvey running out dressed as the Tesla CEO.
Dana Carvey’s Impersonation and Musk’s Reaction
Carvey’s impersonation included wild energy, mimicking Musk’s mannerisms, and making a joke about SpaceX rockets exploding. The bit ended with Carvey performing some wacky dance moves before exiting the stage.
While Carvey’s impersonation was meant to be humorous, Musk found the tone of the sketch, especially the frustration expressed by the cast members over the election results, to be a bit too salty. Musk, a staunch Trump supporter, pointed out how the “SNL” cast seemed upset about Trump winning a second term.

Elon Musk’s Continued Support for Donald Trump
Elon Musk has long been a supporter of Donald Trump, regularly backing him on the campaign trail. Musk has been vocal about his views, and his public stance has garnered attention as the 2024 election approaches.
What’s Next for Elon Musk and the Trump Administration?
It’s still unclear what role Musk will play in a potential second Trump administration, but Trump has already referred to him as his “Secretary of Cost-Cutting.” With Musk’s growing influence and support for Trump, it’s likely we’ll see more impersonations of Musk on “SNL” in the future — and more reactions from Musk himself, calling out the show in the process.
Expect more posts from Musk, as he continues to express his opinions on social media and challenge the comedic portrayals of him on the late-night show.
