The Saturday Night Live cast brutally slammed Elon Musk during the show's cold open, leaving the live audience - and viewers at home - groaning in discomfort.
The Tesla CEO, played by Mike Myers, was seen cutting off President Donald Trump - impersonated by James Austin Johnson - wearing a cheese hat like the Tesla CEO did on March 31 for a rally in Wisconsin.
'Say cheese! Hahahaha, kidding, kidding,' Myers said as he tossed the hat to the side.
'That was from when I tried to buy the election in Wisconsin, uhhhh, I'm an idiot, I should've just bought Wisconsin,' he added before suffering from a 'glitch' - a reoccurring mockery SNL makes of Musk.
Johnson then poked fun at Musk stepping down as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and said: 'Elon it was great, but sadly, it's time to never see you again, OK? You gotta get back to Tesla, right? Because they're doing pretty bad.'
'Yes, recently our dealerships have been the target of many attacks and suddenly, no one likes Tesla cars. So, I ask myself why and then I answered myself, 'cause of me,' Myers said as he broke into an awkward dance and chuckled.
The show made another pointed dig at the billionaire, as Myers announced the new Tesla 'Model V,' an electric car that is 'self-vandalizing' and comes with features like smashed headlights, slashed tires and 'AI-powered graffiti' that can either be in the shape of a penis or Swastika.
The show's takedown of Musk left many viewers uncomfortable and angry, as one called the skit 'really poor,' adding: 'Making fun of high functioning Asperger's is so typical of the mentally ill left,' referring to the tech CEO's diagnosis he went public with four years ago on SNL.

Myers should have stopped at Shrek.
SNL is even more disgusting than the late night comics—if that is even possible!
hahaha - destruction of property is supported and funny when we do it because we’re righteous!
“...groaning in discomfort”
Hardly. It was juvenile and childish. It wasn’t funny. It was very poorly done. I turned it off after about 60 seconds.
He's making Shrek 5 as you read this, and might just have ruined his open.

Their ratings and demos suck.
Musk will have the last laugh.
SNL has gone into the dementia stage. It’s about where Bidenskyyyy was when he debated PRESIDEENT TRUMP and caused the far-left “media” to dump him and start pimping for Kamala, the white dudes’ choice.
SNL will soon be a relic of the past.
SNL! LOL! Irrelevant to the max. No one watches or cares.
They never seemed to find much comedy in Obama or Biden. Those guys were so stunningly awesome — who could make jokes about such giants?? But Republican presidents and their team members? Comedy gold! Buffoons! Every one of them!!
Daily Mail has ‘brutal’ mixed up with lame and pathetic.
They finally made fun of Biden after the disastrous CNN debate. It was actually funny.
You have to be doing a lot of drugs or Bud Light to be able to sit through SNL these days. Not funny. The characters in the skits are parodies of themselves. A bunch of chimps.
I am still po’ed that SNL knocked my Saturday Night FANTASTIC THEATER off the TV back in 1975. I loved that hokey scary movie theater on Saturday nights. I even sat through SNL in hopes of having the movie on after. No such luck.
Not funny for at least 20 years.
“ SNL will soon be a relic of the past.”
They have been since 20 years ago. They’re just the last to admit it
They used to have episodes of “The Ambiguously Gay Duo” on the program. It was funny.
It is a propaganda op. The “not for sale” crap worked pretty well. The Rats/MSM were able to bury the fact that Soros dumped 25 million into the race. So it turns out you can buy it.
I have not watched it in 30 years.
