In a parody of the widely debated meeting between Donald Trump and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Mike Myers portrayed the tech-billionaire Elon Musk.
The skit poked fun of Musk on Saturday Night Live, and the Tesla founder made sure Myers knew he didn’t found the comedy fun.
Namely, Myers, dressed as Musk in black jeans, a blazer, and a graphic t-shirt, interrupted the meeting between Trump, portrayed by James Austin Johnson, and Zelensky, played by Mikey Day.
“Donald, what are you doing in my office?” Myers’ Musk asked Trump, “You know I’m the president now, right?” then added: “I’m kidding, I’m kidding… Maybe not.”
Myers imitated Musk’s bouncing from a last years’ Trump’s rally, jumping up and down.
“They’re saying I’m firing people with no cause. But I do have cause, it’s ’cause’ I feel like it,” Myers’ Musk joked.
Mayer’s further mocked Musk’s role as a head of the Department of Government Efficiency, the government lay-offs, and the number of plane crashes.
“We’re not going to get it perfect, you know. But we are firing the non-essential employees like air traffic controllers.
“And sure, some of the planes are going to land upside down. But then the luggage falls right into your lap and you’re ready to go.”
Myers even held a chainsaw, playing on Musk’s time at the Conservative Political Action Conference when Argentina’s President Javier Milei gave him a gold-plated one.
Vance, portrayed by Yang, berated the Ukrainian leader, asking him, “What happened to thank you? You haven’t said thank you to us once in the past 15 seconds.”
He then continued, “You think you’re getting any money from us after your little outburst today?” before adding, “You get nothing. You lose. Good day, sir.”
Trump then said dismissively to Zelensky, “Who shows up to the White House in a T-shirt and jeans like a garbage person?”
While many found the skit fun, except for the MAGA supporters, it turned out Elon Musk wasn’t fond of his portrayal by Mike Myers…at all!
Replying to a comment about it on X, the SpaceX owner wrote, “Humor fails when it lies.”
Netizens were quick to react to Musk’s comment.
“Fails? They pretty much nailed you. Now it’s even funnier when I know it hurt your feelings,” someone commented.
Another said, “Mike Myers was very funny in this skit [in my opinion],” while a third noted, “You were all ‘legalize comedy’ just a few days ago. I guess you’ve changed your mind? Because most people thought Mike Myers was spot on & hilarious.”
