Tesla CEO and SpaceX founder Elon Musk ran “human in emulation mode” pretty convincingly — as he promised in his monologue — on “Saturday Night Live” in his debut appearance, claiming to be the “first person with Asperger’s” ever to host the program. Musk was arrogant, quirky and funny, saying he doesn’t think he’s so bad, and that he has a great vision for the future. As for Musk’s claim that he’s the first person with Asperger’s to host “SNL,” original cast member Dan Aykroyd, who was diagnosed with Asperger’s in the 1980s, returned to host the show back in 2003. Colin Jost later joked on “Weekend Update” that Musk hosted the show so he’d have an alibi when the Chinese rocket crashed into the Indian Ocean on Saturday night. “Weekend Update” host Michael Che repeatedly asked, “What is Dogecoin?”Musk eventually admitted that “it’s a hustle” — and Dogecoin’s value plunged to as low as $0.47 on crypto exchange Binance, down 28% from about $0.65 before the show.
