Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk will be host Saturday Night Live on May 8 , the show ’s prescribed accounttweetedSaturday . And I have a sight of questions , namely : Why ?
Musk may be know for his unlawful common sense of humour , for lack of a better word , on Twitter , but is he entertaining enough to sustain a 90 - minute clip slot of comedy sketch ? SNL sure seems to hope so . And no , his mate Grimes is n’t the instalment ’s melodious guest . That role goes to Miley Cyrus , in what will be her 6th SNL show .

AsVarietynotes , SNL has sport a few business emcee before , including New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner in 1990 and NBC ’s own Brandon Tartikoff in 1983 , but Musk will be the first tech chief operating officer to take the leg .
His businesses have been make headline in late hebdomad , for in force or worse . Last workweek , NASA wiretap SpaceX to build thefirst lunar landersince the Apollo program , and its Crew Dragon spacecraftsuccessfully dockedwith the International Space Station early Saturday morning , the company ’s third crew commission . Tesla , on the other hand , has come under fireyet againfor its fomite ’ driver help system , or Autopilot , in the backwash ofa fatal crashin Texas . Federal safety regulators announce an investigation into the incident , in which a Tesla believed to be driverless doss into a tree and burst into flames , earlier this week .
Musk has made a few pop culture cameo over the years — most notably inIron piece 2andThe Big Bang Theory — and famouslysmoked a jointwith Joe Rogan during one of his appearances on his podcast , The Joe Rogan Experience . But can his outlandish public character and meme - establish humor translate well into live clowning skits ? I guess we ’ll find out in a few weeks .
