Elon on SNL

He started by declaring that he speaks in a monotone and “has Asperger’s,” was funny and self-assured during the rest of the introduction, brought his mom on stage, and later played a variety of roles, including murderer, awkward guy at a party, a Mario character (Wario), and an Icelandic TV producer.  He played a financial analyst repeatedly asked to explain “What is Dogecoin?” (Dogecoin was down significantly during the evening).  The final skit was a gold-mining motif, something like “why are we panning for this gold when we can just invent our own currency?”  Elon’s plan was to dig a tunnel to get at the bad guys.  I enjoyed his line: “And I like self-driving horses, which are just…horses.”

He was funnier than any of the professional comedians.

Is there anything in American business history even vaguely comparable to this event?
