Multi-billionaire Elon Musk was recently announced as the host of the May 8 episode of Saturday Night Live, with Miley Cyrus as the musical guest.

Immediately, critics across the internet began lambasting the host, especially after Musk tweeted:


"Let's find out just how live Saturday Night Live really is."



The announcement tweet from SNL drew backlash as well.





One user's speculation "even the cast hates him" may not be so far off, either.

Cast members Bowen Yang and Aidy Bryant explicitly shared on their Instagram Stories anti-Elon Musk sentiments, including Yang screenshotting Musk's tweet with the caption:

"What the f**k does this even mean?"



A new meme, using the format SNL used to announce Musk and Cyrus' episode, started showing up online to mock the choice.

Cast members have expressed displeasure at hosts before, such as several coming forward to publicly say how much they hated working with Donald Trump, Andrew Dice Clay and Steven Seagal.

Lorne Michaels may choose anybody to pull in ratings, but nobody really has to like his choices—including his own staff.

MAGA Pastor Dragged After Claiming Uncircumcised People Are Trying To 'Steal This Nation' In Unhinged Sermon

Hank Kunneman, a pastor and self-described prophet of One Voice Ministries, went viral after delivering an utterly odd, transphobic, and Islamophobic sermon to his congregation ahead of the midterm elections pledging that he won't let uncircumcised people "steal" the United States.

Kunneman's remarks attracted attention after they were circulated by Right Wing Watch, an organization that tracks far-right extremism in the U.S. According to the Old Testament of the Bible, uncircumcised people are excluded from God's spiritual covenant. The term "uncircumcised" was also used to describe the Philistines, foreigners who did not follow God.

Fans Bummed After The Spice Girls Reveal What Their 'Big Announcement' Is—And It's Not A Reunion Tour

Spice Girls fans will tell you what they want, what they really, really want—and apparently, expectations were too high. It all started with a cryptic social media post two days ago that had fans convinced something major was about to spice up their lives.

The video opened with a copy of The Stage newspaper resting across a set of colorful patterned stairs—and the choice of reading material was no coincidence. The same publication famously carried the 1994 ad seeking members for an all-female pop group that would eventually become the Spice Girls
