Elon Musk's SNL Backlash Inspires Spicy Twitter Memes

Elon Musk can't seem to stay out of the spotlight. SNL announced on Saturday that the South African billionaire would be hosting the show on May 8th with musical guest Miley Cyrus. The news came in SNL's classic index card format - featuring the date, the name of the host, and the name of the musical guest. 


It's true that weird nerds and Dogecoin enthusiasts may be celebrating the announcement, but there has actually been an impressive amount of backlash. While Dean Obeidallah penned an impressive op-ed decrying the choice, the most fervent and goofy protests have been in the form of memes.

    Twitter user @BonerWizard not only spearheaded the index card meme, they supplied the rest of the internet with an easy template to join the Musk mockery.

    Putting Nickleback on the bill would definitely ensure low ratings.
