Mike Myers impersonates Elon Musk on SNL sketch

yardbarker.com — March 3, 2025 at 06:01 AM UTC

Mike Myers made a guest appearance on "Saturday Night Live," impersonating Elon Musk during a recent cold open sketch. This marks a trend of bringing back former cast members for recurring roles, particularly in political satire. The sketch featured a chaotic meeting with notable figures like Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump. Myers' portrayal of Musk became a focal point towards the end, although some viewers felt it lacked depth. In the closing credits, Myers wore a shirt with the Canadian flag and the phrase "Canada is not for sale," referencing Trump's comments about Canada potentially becoming a U.S. state.
