TIRED OF THE JOKES? Elon Musk Goes NUCLEAR Over SNL Mockery — Threatens to Sue Mike Myers Into Oblivion
In what could be the most Elon Musk moment yet, the world’s most memeable billionaire is reportedly lawyering up — and not for a boardroom takeover this time.
No, Musk’s latest battle isn’t against Wall Street or Big Tech.
It’s against Saturday Night Live and comedy legend Mike Myers.
The alleged crime? A blistering impersonation that Elon claims didn’t just parody him — it “publicly assassinated” his character on national television.
The sketch in question, aired during SNL’s cold open last weekend, featured a surreal Oval Office scenario:
Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelensky, and… Elon Musk? Except it wasn’t Musk — it was Myers, in full costume: black jeans, “Occupy Mars” tee, blazer, and a prop chainsaw, wildly mimicking Musk’s infamous CPAC stunt.
“What are you doing in my office?” Myers-as-Musk demanded, deadpan.
“You know I’m the president now, right?”
Cue the audience laughter.
Cue the Twitter memes.
Cue the volcanic fury of Elon Musk himself.
Within hours, Musk posted on X, “Humor isn’t humor when it distorts reality,” a thinly veiled shot at the skit.
But insiders claim the post was just the tip of the iceberg.
Behind closed doors, Musk was allegedly fuming.
Not just at the jokes, but at what he views as a character attack — one that blends satire with slander and could, according to his legal team, “cause tangible harm to Elon’s brand, leadership reputation, and business operations globally.”
Sources close to the Tesla and SpaceX CEO report that he’s assembling a crack legal squad to explore defamation charges — targeting NBCUniversal, Saturday Night Live, and Myers personally.
They’re reportedly investigating whether the sketch crossed from “protected parody” into “reputational destruction,” particularly due to its use of real-life references like the chainsaw stunt and recent mass layoffs at X.
One line that allegedly “broke the camel’s back”? Myers, with manic glee, declaring: “They say I fire people without cause.
But I do have cause — it’s cause I feel like it!”
Musk, known for playing fast and loose with public antics, apparently didn’t find the line amusing — especially as it mirrors criticisms from ex-employees and watchdog groups.
“This wasn’t just a joke,” said one source inside X.
“This was a surgical takedown — a mock execution of Elon’s character using a laugh track as the firing squad.”
While legal experts are skeptical — parody, after all, enjoys broad First Amendment protection — Musk’s lawyers are pushing a novel argument: that when parody becomes so realistic it damages perception in investors’ and regulators’ eyes, it crosses the line into defamation.
They’re particularly incensed by the “President Musk” narrative, calling it a “deliberate attempt to portray Elon as power-mad, delusional, and dangerous.”
One lawyer reportedly said, “This wasn’t comedy.
This was reputational sabotage, hidden behind a punchline.”
But critics — and the internet — aren’t buying it.
Within hours of Musk’s complaint, social media turned against him, labeling the billionaire a “fragile snowflake” who suddenly doesn’t like the same brand of “free speech” he preaches.
“Elon wants to ‘legalize comedy’ until the joke’s about him,” one user quipped.
Another tweeted, “If Mike Myers impersonating you is the worst thing to happen this year, you’re doing fine, buddy.”
Some even celebrated the sketch’s uncanny realism.
“It wasn’t satire,” said one fan.
“It was Elon in HD.
The manic hand gestures.
The chaotic confidence.
The dictator energy.
It was terrifyingly accurate.”
And therein lies the irony: the closer the impersonation, the more it stings.
And that sting might fuel Musk’s legal crusade.
Behind closed doors, some of Musk’s own advisors are cautioning against the lawsuit.
“This could make him a permanent punchline,” warned one senior exec at SpaceX.
“Trying to muzzle SNL could backfire in spectacular, meme-worthy fashion.
Remember the Streisand effect?”
Indeed, the fallout has already begun.
“MUSK 2028: Make Earth Mars Again” memes are flooding Instagram.
TikTok is ablaze with reenactments of the chainsaw scene.
Reddit has dubbed Myers the “most accurate Musk ever.”
The very image Musk seeks to protect is being memed into myth — and mockery.
Still, insiders say this isn’t about damage control.
It’s about drawing a line in the comedic sand.
Musk, they insist, is trying to reshape how satire treats billionaires — especially those who hold immense influence over global markets, media platforms, and politics.
“He’s not just defending himself,” one confidante noted.
“He’s defending the future of responsible parody.
If the public can’t tell what’s real and what’s fake, if comedy becomes indistinguishable from propaganda, what happens next?”
That’s the question Musk wants answered in court.
Or at least in the court of public opinion.
Meanwhile, neither NBC nor Myers has issued a public response.
But given SNL’s long history of skewering power with unapologetic gusto — from Nixon to Clinton, from Obama to Trump — the odds of them backing down are slim.
For now, the stage is set: Billionaire vs.
Comedian.
Tech Power vs.
Punchlines.
Ego vs.
Entertainment.
And with subpoenas possibly en route, the laughs might soon be drowned out by legal briefs and court summonses.
But one thing’s certain: when Elon Musk takes offense, the world doesn’t just notice — it tunes in.
So grab your popcorn.
This isn’t just satire.
It’s the opening act of what might become the most bizarre courtroom drama since People vs.
Larry Flynt.
