The actor Mike Myers imitated Elon Musk again in the latest Saturday Night Live sketch. Myers compared the billionaire to the character Dr. Evil from “Austin Powers.”
During a sketch on Saturday Night Live, Mike Myers made fun of Elon Musk again by mimicking what happened after the supposed disagreement between the billionaire and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Along with Myers and Marcello Hernández, who imitated Rubio, was James Austin Johnson as President Donald Trump, trying to calm down the situation.
“I know you’re under a lot of stress, but I can’t have you guys fighting, okay? I need you to be my good Marco,” said Austin.
“Mr. Trump, if you think I’m going to stay here and let you call me that, you’re right,” replied Rubio, played by Hernández. “Marco, get your budget in order. Elon, stay in your place. You’re not the boss,” ordered Trump, played by Johnson.
The Elon Musk version by Myers took advantage of the situation to give voice to his thoughts. “Was it a bad idea to take this job?” he asked himself.
“Lots of people really seem to hate me. Tesla’s stock is plummeting, and my net worth dropped by $100 billion,” he reflected while putting his finger to his mouth like the character Dr. Evil.
In the “Austin Powers” franchise, Mike Myers plays the villain Dr. Evil.
According to the New York Times, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio had a heated discussion during a cabinet meeting at the White House on March 6.
The billionaire accused the secretary of not firing anyone from his department, which Rubio denied, stating that 1,500 employees from the State Department had retired.
The imitation divided the audience. In YouTube comments, viewers criticized Saturday Night Live’s approach. “Looking for applause, not laughs,” criticized one. Another called Myers a “genius” for making Musk imitate Dr. Evil.
