Elon Musk Criticizes Dana Carvey’s ‘SNL’ Impression, Says Show “Has Been Slowly Dying for Years”

Elon Musk took to his own social media platform on Sunday, rattling off multiple criticisms of Dana Carvey’s Saturday Night Live impression of the tech billionaire.

SNL began its first post-election episode on Saturday night with a sarcastic attempt to get on the president-elect’s good side, after months of satirizing and spoofing Trump on the same stage.

“Every single person on this stage believed in you.” Hernández said to Trump. “Every single person on this stage voted for you.”

The segment ended with Dana Carvey’s impression of Musk, celebrating Trump’s win in front of the group of castmembers. On X — formerly Twitter — later that night, Musk wrote in response to the bit that “SNL has been dying slowly for years, as they become increasingly out of touch with reality.”

He added, “Their last-ditch effort to cheat the equal airtime requirements and prop up Kamala before the election only helped sink her campaign further,” which is a reference to last week’s back-and-forth over Kamala Harris’ appearance on SNL, which FCC comissioner Brendan Carr falsely claimed was a violation of the equal time provision. NBC subsequently gave Trump free commercial time in response to the issue.

Beneath a separate post of Carvey’s impression, Musk — who hosted himself SNL in 2021 — wrote, “Dana Carvey just sounds like Dana Carvey.” Elsewhere, he wrote, “They are so mad that @realDonaldTrump won.”

Bill Burr hosted Saturday’s episode, telling the crowd he was “so psyched that this election is over. Took forever.” He added, “Everybody knew who they were voting for four years ago and then they just drag you through a year and a half of this stuff.”
