Elon Musk Fires Back After SNL Mocks Tesla and Musk’s Autism in Tasteless Sketch

Tesla owners across the country are being targeted—cars vandalized, keyed, painted with swastikas, or even set ablaze. According to reports, “Over eighty reports of Tesla vandalism have been filed since January.”

But instead of condemning the attacks or calling out the criminals, the cast of Saturday Night Live decided to point the finger at Elon Musk.

In the latest sketch, Mike Myers played a parody version of Musk and opened with this line:

“Recently, our dealerships have been the target of many attacks. And suddenly no one likes Tesla cars. So I asked myself why? And then I answered myself: ‘Because of me.’”

Then, Parody Musk introduced Tesla Model V, “the first electric car in history to be fully self-vandalizing.”

The fake ad included features like:

• Self-smashing headlights

• Self-slashing tires

• AI-powered graffiti

“You can choose from [graffiti] penises or swastikas, or my favorite, swastikas made out of penises,” Parody Musk announced.

Myers’ impression also mocked Musk’s autistic traits. This was something many viewers immediately called out as mean-spirited and out of line.
