On Friday (February 28), the two leaders met in Washington D.C. with the intention of securing a minerals and defence deal. The summit was cut short after a tense argument erupted between the presidents and US Vice President JD Vance in front of the press, during which Trump said the Ukrainian leader was not “ready for peace” and accused him of “gambling with world war three”.

Last night (March 1), the tense meeting was spoofed on SNL, featuring a cringe-inducing Myers as an erratic Musk, while James Austin Johnson played Trump, Bowen Yang Vance, and Mikey Day Zelensky.

“President Zelensky,” Trump said in the skit, “You want to say a few words? Maybe tell Mr Putin how much you love him and that you’re sorry you invaded Russia? Maybe offer him one night with your wife?”

Day’s Zelensky only got a few words in before Vance interrupted: “Excuse me!? I’m sorry, what? I have to jump in here because that’s how we planned this. What happened to ‘thank you’? Remember ‘thank you’? You haven’t said ‘thank you’ once in the past 15 seconds I’ve been yelling at you.”

“You didn’t say anything about us being handsome,” he lamented moments later, with Trump nodding in agreement, quipping that Zelensky’s attire was inappropriate.

“Who shows up to the White House in a t-shirt and jeans like a garbage person?” he said as Musk – wearing a t-shirt and jeans – enters, manically revving a chainsaw around Trump’s head and awkwardly jumping around.

“Hi-hi-hi guys,” he stuttered. “Donald, what are you doing in my office? You know I’m the president now, right?” After saying he may or may not having been joking about his level of influence, he waved his fists and exclaimed: “Legalise comedy! Legalise comedy!” before falling quiet.

Trump simply responded: “I’m so comfortable with all of that.” At the show’s close, Myers appeared in a shirt that read: “Canada is not for sale,” which follows accusations that Musk was acting against Canada’s national interest and undermining its sovereignty.

Mike Myers playing Elon Musk on SNL and then busting out a CANADA IS NOT FOR SALE SHIRT at the end of the show is exactly the energy we need right now. Read More
