Tech centibillionaire and perpetual shitposter Elon Musk is lined up to host Saturday Night Live on May 8, and he’s taken to Twitter to try and crowdsource ideas for the episode’s comedy skits, as well as pitching out some of his own SNL ideas.
As much as his hosting duties are controversial and have been criticised by SNL’s own cast members – who reportedly won’t be forced to appear on his episode if they don’t feel comfortable – people are taking a lot of joy in suggesting ideas for his upcoming ep.
Throwing out some skit ideas for SNL. What should I do?

Elon Musk, a 49-year-old man, casually asked his Twitter followers (mostly screeching tech-bros) in an attempt to crowdsource ideas for SNL, and also threw out a couple of his own – and I stress – deeply half-baked ones.

Irony Man – defeats villains using the power of irony
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 1, 2021
Baby Shark Shark Tank? Irony Man? Woke James Bond? This sounds like a damned mess already.
The replies are littered with dumbass edgelord suggestions, like “nailing Joe Biden”, pushing Dogecoin crypto, and punishing the SNL members who criticised his hosting announcement.
But some people were fast to take aim at Elon, who clearly left himself wide open on this one.
Please, enjoy these deeply satisfying suggestions which he should definitely do unless he’s a true coward.
Announce that you’re giving away half your fortune to help eradicate deep poverty, fight climate change and promote world peace.

How about a skit where a selfish billionaire has a tantrum and makes a showy to-do about moving his factory to another state, but that new state is so dysfunctional it has a third-world power grid and runs out of electricity to run his factories and cars? That would be hilarious.

I honestly don’t know what Elon Musk expected by asking the Internet about SNL skit ideas, but I now can’t wait to see how this car (Cybertruck?) crash pans out.
