Elon Musk to host Saturday Night Live

In this story

Elon Musk is set to host the May 8 edition of “Saturday Night Live,” with musical guest Miley Cyrus.

Musk is among just a select group who have been asked to host the iconic NBC late-night institution.

The news comes on the heels of Musk’s SpaceX travel venture launching its second operational flight of its Dragon spacecraft.

His stewardship of Tesla has drawn major criticism, yet he remains one of the most visible CEOs and tech entrepreneurs-impresarios of the moment.

According to Forbes, he is worth a cool $177 billion.

Musk is one of the most talked-about business leaders of our time, with his bold moves in the electric car arena with Tesla.

The episode will mark Cyrus’ sixth visit to “SNL” as musical guest. Her most recent album, “Plastic Hearts,” debuted last year.
