SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk made several people, including cast members, unhappy when he was announced as the host of Saturday Night Live for May 8.
And he keeps making the situation worse for himself.
In a thread on Twitter, Musk threw out some "skit" ideas for SNL.

Musk, who has generational wealth accrued during the apartheid regime in South Africa, has attracted a lot of controversy because of his transphobic tweets, as well as his spreading misinformation surrounding the current pandemic.
Musk is a multi-billionaire.

Musk then went back to his usual tweeting.
It's unclear if he internalized any of the information in these reactions.
Musk will be hosting SNL this coming Saturday, May 8, along with Miley Cyrus as a musical guest.
