Elon Musk was critical of Saturday Night Live’s portrayal of him via Dana Carvey in the NBC staple’s first episode since Donald Trump’s election victory.

The Tesla & X CEO, 53, fired off a series of tweets on his platform X/Twitter Sunday in response to the segment in which Carvey mimicked the physical gestures Musk made while on the campaign trail with Trump.

‘SNL has been dying slowly for years, as they become increasingly out of touch with reality,’ said the Pretoria, South Africa-born magnate, who hosted the show’s May 8, 2021 episode.

He added: ‘Their last-ditch effort to cheat the equal airtime requirements and prop up Kamala before the election only helped sink her campaign further.’

In the opening segment, Carvey, a cast member on the series from 1986-1993, was clad in an all-black ensemble similar to one Musk has been seen in as of late.

Carvey said while imitating Musk, ‘Check it out – dark MAGA – but seriously, I run the country now.

‘America’s gonna be like one of my rockets: You know, they’re super cool and super fun, but there’s a slight chance it could blow up and everybody dies.

The SpaceX CEO said of the comic’s performance: ‘Dana Carvey just sounds like Dana Carvey.’

Musk added of SNL: ‘They are so mad that @realDonaldTrump won,’ and also agreed with a user’s suggestion that the show’s opening clip had a larger platform via his social media site as opposed to NBC’s broadcast and streaming services.

The cold open for Saturday’s edition of the show began with the most somber of tones as a group of plainly dressed cast members, primarily women and minorities, described their new reality.

‘To many people, including many people watching right now, the results were shocking and even horrifying,’ Ego Nwodim soberly said.

‘Donald Trump, who forcibly tried to overturn the results of the last election, was returned to office,’ Heidi Gardner said.

Bowen Yang added, ‘And now, thanks to the Supreme Court, there are no guardrails.’

Then came the swerve from the liberal-leaning show: Keenan Thompson said, ‘That is why we at SNL would like to say to Donald Trump, we have been with you all along,’ while Yang chimed in, ‘We have never wavered in our support for you, even when others doubted you.’

Sarah Sherman said, ‘Every single person on this stage believed in you,’ while Marcello Hernández added, ‘Every single person on this stage voted for you.’

The cast members went on to effusively declare their reverence for, and obedience to, the former and future president, introducing a new character, ‘H๏τ, Jacked Trump.’

Cast member James Austin Johnson, who plays a ᴅᴇᴀᴅ-on Trump and was virtually guaranteed a long-term job by the election, came out as an Adonis-bodied president-elect.

‘From now on we´re going to do a very flattering portrayal of Trump, because frankly he´s my hero,’ Johnson said in his Trump voice but speaking as himself. ‘He´s going to make an incredible president and eventually king.’

The episode, hosted by standup comic and actor Bill Burr, was the first all season that did not begin with former cast member Maya Rudolph, who played Vice President Kamala Harris in a giddy five-week run culminating with an appearance last week of Harris herself that began the show’s 50th season and brought a ratings spike.

Burr, hosting after standup Dave Chappelle hosted the last two post-presidential election episodes, did his own feint in his monologue, saying, ‘I don´t watch politics’ and doing some standard standup including an airplane bit before doubling back to the elephant in the studio, the election.

‘Alright, let´s get to what you all want to talk about. Alright ladies, you´re 0-and-2 against this guy,’ he said. ‘But you learn more from your losses than your wins. So let’s get into the game tape. Ladies, enough with the pantsuit. Okay, it´s not working. Stop trying to have respect for yourself.’

He suggested candidates that were a least a little more scantily clad, saying, ‘I know a lot of ugly women – feminists, I mean – don´t want to hear this message.’

Burr said he was ‘so psyched that this stupid election is finally over,’ adding, ‘Everybody knew who they were going to vote for four years ago – then they just dragged us through a year and a half of this stuff.’

After Trump’s first election victory in 2016, the show opening was serious and stayed that way with Kate McKinnon, who played Hillary Clinton on the show, appearing as the losing candidate sitting at the piano and singing a somber version Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah changing only one verse from the best-known versions of the song.

‘And even though it all went wrong, I’ll stand before the lord of song with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah,’ McKinnon sang in what became a national moment of catharsis for those on the losing side.

After finishing, McKinnon said in a shaky voice, ‘I’m not giving up and neither should you’ before delivering the obligatory ‘live from New York, it’s Saturday night!’
