SNL Satirizes Trump-Zelensky Meeting with Mike Myers as Elon Musk

The episode critiques Trump’s Oval Office clash with Zelensky and Musk’s controversial government role, while Shane Gillis’s hosting performance receives lukewarm reception.

Saturday Night Live opened with a parody of the recent tense Oval Office meeting between Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Volodymyr Zelensky, poking fun at its chaotic nature.
Mike Myers portrayed Elon Musk as a chainsaw-wielding disruptor, mocking his leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency and his controversial mass layoffs of federal employees.
Shane Gillis returned as host for the second time, but his performance was criticized as unremarkable, with jokes and sketches failing to resonate with the live audience.
Critics praised Myers’s portrayal of Musk for its sharp satire, though the episode overall was described as uneven and lacking standout moments.
The skit reflects ongoing fallout from the Trump administration’s policies, including Musk's mandatory productivity emails and controversial cuts across federal agencies.
