    Why?

      Why not? If it were Steve Jurczyk, then perhaps there’d be cause for concern!

      Because it’s fun? And because he’s a celebrity?

        Have you heard him at press conferences, like Crew 2 last Friday? He’s terrible. Don’t get me wrong, he’s done a lot of great things… but being good on stage is not one of them.

          Oh, I know – this is going to be a terrible episode. I meant it’s fun for him, not necessarily for the audience.

      Some Russian dude suggested the US couldn’t get astronauts to space and they ought to invest in a trampoline.

    He has a great sense of humor. Love his openness.
    I wonder if a trampoline will be in one of the skits?

    PR dept head for SpaceX calls PR dept head for Tesla: “oh no, no, no, no NO (sob)”.

      You do realize that the SpaceX PR is Musk’s tweeter feed.

      There is no longer a PR staff at Tesla in the US. Instead we get Musk’s tweeter feed again.

      In other words Musk talking to himself.

        And depending on the stock market and the day of the week he is often the richest person on Earth. I think he has some of the basics workout rather well. Just sayin’

        I don’t pay a whole lot of attention to Tesla, so thanks for that heads up. But just replace the PR heads with shareholders and the humor survives.

    No doubt about it Musk is a force to be reckoned with and he is the key person when it comes to spaceflight. He is really the only one who’s name is known. Besos? Not in spaceflight. Musk is a force for good in space. Hopefully SNL will not be an embarrassment.

    Elon had a small part in Iron Man movie. Marvel has used his factory in some of their interior scenes. He’s been on the Big Bang Theory sit com….so he has some bona-fides backing up his appearance on SNL… I can’t wait!

    now that BO has filed a protest for HLS, maybe one skit can be fight between elon and bezos for getting to the Moon.

      Somewhat in jest. Would love to see SNL skit of Musk as Conan the Barbarian versus Bezos as Thoth-Amon in confrontation over future spaceflights.
