In a highly anticipated cold open on Saturday Night Live, comedian Mike Myers returned to the show with a scathing impression of tech mogul Elon Musk. The episode, which aired on March 2, 2025, featured Myers portraying Musk in a satirical sketch that riffed on the recent meeting between former President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office. Myers, known for his sharp wit and comedic timing, did not hold back in his criticism of Musk, emphasizing his controversial presence in the tech and business world. ‘You know I could launch a car into space, right? I mean, how hard could it be?’ Myers quipped, effectively mocking Musk’s infamous launch of a Tesla Roadster into orbit. The sketch also highlighted Musk’s impact on social media and his ongoing tensions with various public figures, showcasing Myers’s ability to blend humor with social commentary. ‘This is a great way to send a message,’ Myers, as Musk, remarked sarcastically while surrounded by an elaborate set designed to replicate the Oval Office. The cold open received mixed reviews, with some praising Myers’s return to SNL after years away from the spotlight while others felt that his impression was overly exaggerated. Nevertheless, it succeeded in drawing attention to current events and stirred conversations online. The episode marked a significant return for SNL as it continues to blend political commentary with entertainment.
