Donald Trump bullied Elon Musk, or “White Kanye,” into wearing a suit to weekly cabinet meetings in the White House, Colin Jost said on Weekend Update during Saturday’s episode of “SNL.” The nickname for Musk, who appeared to give a crowd of people a Nazi salute in January, drew plenty of laughter from the studio audience at 8H.
Trump’s ability to get Musk to don something other than a hoodie or sweatshirt is also a “refreshing reminder that bullying still works,” Jost joked.
Michael Che also had plenty of Musk-related jokes. He noted that his SpaceX Starship exploded Thursday — “which is how he ended up with all those kids.” Musk recently welcomed his 14th child and fourth with Shivon Zilis.
The duo also had threw in a number of Trump jabs during the segment. In reference to Trump’s claim that “no one” has changed the government more than he has in 43 days, Jost added, “Yeah, and nobody changed airport security faster than Bin Laden.”
Jost also joked that Trump “spent last week defending our historical best friend Russia” and “turned this week to attacking our sworn enemy, Canada.”
“That’s right, those syrup-guzzling, poutine-munching, moose-humping hockey sluts have taken advantage of us far too long,” Jost added. “Even right here at ‘SNL’, American sketch comedy jobs are being stolen by filthy Canadians,” he continued as a photo of “SNL” alum Mike Meyers flashed on the screen — Myers has been playing Musk on the show the last few weeks.
