Excitement builds as Musk gears up for SNL gig

Excitement is building ahead of Elon Musk’s appearance on Saturday Night Live, SNL.

Dogecoin has risen as much as 40% in the last 24-hours. Experts have credited the investing boost to the buzz around the much-anticipated cameo.

The meme coin often fluctuates based on pop-culture events it last rose on the 20th of April or 420 – which is international weed day.

Musk causes controversy at SNL

This comes after SNL stars expressed their dissatisfaction over Musk’s cameo.

Aidy Bryant seemed to take a swipe at the SpaceX pioneer by tweeting a Bernie Sanders quote stating, “The 50 wealthiest people in America today own more wealth than the bottom half of our people.”

According to Forbes, Musk’s net worth is $179 billion.

However, when asked if everyone was being friendly and willing to work with him, Musk answered with a simple, “Yes.” 

Musk reaches to Twitter for sketch ideas

Musk asked for “skit” ideas for his SNL appearance on Twitter.

His ideas included “Woke James Bond,” “Baby Shark & Shark Tank merge to form Baby Shark Tank,” and “Irony Man – defeats villains using the power of irony.”

SNL cast member Chris Redd responded, “First I’d call Em sketches” with a laughing emoji.
