Mike Myers Returns to 'SNL' as Elon Musk in Dr. Evil-Inspired Satire

The cold open lampooned Musk's political influence and recent tensions with Marco Rubio, with Lady Gaga hosting and performing as musical guest.

Mike Myers reprised his role as Elon Musk on 'Saturday Night Live,' blending his performance with elements of his iconic Dr. Evil character from 'Austin Powers.'
The cold open depicted a White House meeting where Musk and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, played by Marcello Hernández, clashed over budget cuts, with James Austin Johnson's Donald Trump attempting to mediate.
Myers' Musk questioned his political involvement in an inner monologue, referencing his declining Tesla stock and $100 billion drop in personal net worth.
Lady Gaga hosted the episode, delivering self-deprecating humor about her role in 'Joker 2' and performing two songs from her new album, 'Mayhem.'
Critics noted the episode's sketches were uneven, but Myers' portrayal of Musk continued to draw attention for its biting satire of the billionaire's persona.
