‘SNL’ Weekend Update Roasts Elon’s Debunked Voter Conspiracy, Trump’s ‘Special’ Music Town Hall
Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update took aim at Elon Musk pushing the same false theory about Dominion voting machines that cost Fox News $787 million, as well as Donald Trump’s bizarre town hall in which he stood on stage listening to music for 40 long minutes.
Musk, who has a history of pushing Russia-friendly propaganda as well, “promoted the debunked theory that the 2020 election was rigged, saying, ‘The last thing I would do was trust a computer program,'” co-anchor Colin Jost commented, adding, “You know, like the one driving all his cars.”

Musk’s choice for president had a “special” night Monday when he called an end to the question-and-answer part of a town hall in Pennsylvania, Jost went on to say.
“Special. Like, really special,” Jost said after playing clips from the odd occurrence, which saw “It’s A Man’s World,” “Hallelujah,” and “Nothing Compares 2 U” being played.
“You can find all those incredible songs on Now That’s What I Call Dementia,” Jost joked.
Jost also had an explanation for Trump laughably declaring himself the “father of IVF” recently.
IVF “stands for Ivanka and Various Freaks,” Jost said, as photos of Trump’s eldest daughter and his two eldest sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, showed on screen.
