SNL sketch pokes fun at Musk, Grok calls it "the worst thing South Africa has ever done"

According to reports, actor Jeremy Culhane of the American comedy show *Saturday Night Live* (SNL) impersonated Elon Musk in the latest episode, portraying the SpaceX and Tesla CEO as an awkward figure desperately trying to win favor with the host of *Weekend News*. The sketch also had Musk’s chatbot, Grok, generate vulgar rants, with Grok declaring Musk as “the worst thing South Africa has ever done” and joking, “Maybe if you had 100 more kids, one of them would talk to you.”

The segment also used host Colin Jost to mock Musk’s decision to relocate his business operations to Texas amid tax concerns and Democratic governance, suggesting he may still face local tax pressures. SNL this season has previously spoofed Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and data center investor Kevin O’Leary.
