Elon Musk had quite a midterms week, culminating in comic Jeremy Culhane debuting a brutal impression of the billionaire on “Saturday Night Live.”
Musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars on mostly failed GOP candidates, watched as shares in his businesses dropped and announced plans to wind down production of his CyberTrucks as a result of low sales.
Culhane — a featured player known for his impressions of Tucker Carlson and Vice President JD Vance — dropped by the “Weekend Update” desk as the billionaire and responded to host Colin Jost noting that “almost all the candidates” he backed lost on Tuesday.
“Hahahaha!” said Culhane’s Musk with a forced laugh. “Nice, that was like an epic roast of me. Most vulgar. That’s what I call an epic, vulgar roast!”
As Culhane tried to brush off his not-so-sweet week with a dose of awkward humor, Jost cut straight to the chase, remarking that the billionaire moved to Texas because he “didn’t want to pay taxes” and built his own town there only for it to now be run by Democrats.
“So now you’re going to have to pay taxes,” Jost said.
“Big time, yeah,” Culhane replied.
“So how does that make you feel?” Jost asked.
“Bad,” Culhane answered.
“I guess that’s what I thought, I mean, I would feel bad, too,” Jost said.
“Hahahaha! Ouchy, wouchy!” said Culhane, delighting over the joke from his “poorest friend” in Jost.
He then revealed that his Grok AI chatbot is equipped to make “epic, vulgar” roasts — and he asked the tool to make him the target.
And it certainly delivered.
“Elon Musk,” began an artificial-sounding voice. “You’re the worst thing South Africa has ever done.”
Watch the rest of the roast of Musk, which ultimately led Culhane to declare, “Shut it down, Grok! Shut it down!”
