Elon Musk | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

We are less than a week away before Elon Musk makes his controversial debut as host of Saturday Night Live on Saturday, March 8.

Since news broke that the 49-year-old Tesla and SpaceX CEO would be hosting the show, fans have been very vocal about their outrage over the decision.

“Elon Musk hosting SNL is the most reckless casting decision they’ve made since Donald Trump,” one person tweeted.

And fans aren’t the only ones upset about the situation.

Several SNL cast members, including Aidy Bryant and Bowen Yang, have not so subtly shaded Elon and his hosting gig. Fans have since been speculating that cast members might decide to boycott appearing on stage with Elon on the show next week.

However, a source close to SNL has shared with The Wrap that, as of right now, no one is sitting out of Elon‘s episode.

The source also revealed that show creator Lorne Michaels would let any cast member or writer sit out of the episode if they are upset or uncomfortable with any of the show’s guest hosts.

Just recently, Elon took to Twitter to throw out some SNL “skit ideas” he might pitch to the show.

Elon Musk is giving it straight to anyone thinking about going on SpaceX’s expedition to Mars.

The 49-year-old tech mogul opened in a recent interview about how those thinking of going in the first crewed flight to the red planet might die on their way there, or on the planet itself.

“Going to Mars reads like that ad book for [explorer Ernest] Shackleton going to the Antarctic,” he shared. “It’s dangerous, it’s uncomfortable, it’s a long journey. You might not come back alive. But it’s a glorious adventure, and it’ll be an amazing experience.”

Elon continued on, “You might die… and you probably won’t have good food and all these things. It’s an arduous and dangerous journey where you may not come back alive, but it’s a glorious adventure. Sounds appealing. Mars is the place. That’s the ad, that’s the ad for Mars.”

He added that the mission is still receiving applications for the expedition and Elon reiterated that “a bunch of people probably will die in the beginning.”

“It’s tough sledding over there, you know? … We don’t want to make anyone go, so… Volunteers only,” Elon said.

This isn’t the first time Elon has mentioned people might die on the flight.

Back in 2016, he also expressed the same thing to Space.com, saying that he “would definitely need to have a very good succession plan, because the probability of death is quite high on the first mission, and I’d like to see my kids grow up and everything — so, some pros and cons there.”
