Tesla CEO Elon Musk guest-hosted the NBC TV show “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) on the 8th local time, saying he was the first host with Asperger’s disorder. In addition, Dogecoin, the fourth largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, surged before Musk was rumored to be on the show, but it plunged 29% while the “Godfather of Dogecoin” was on the show.
Business Insider reported that Musk opened the SNL show by telling the audience, “I actually made history tonight by being the first person with Asperger’s to host SNL,” he added, “or at least the first to admit it. ” The Daily Beast, a U.S. news network, reportedly said that Canadian-American actor Dan Aykroyd, who starred in the movie “Ghostbusters,” hosted SNL in 2003 and also suffers from a combination of Asperger’s disorders.
Musk opened the show by saying that he should tweet about “serious” things, such as his vision for the future of technology, but laughed at himself for always tweeting about “not serious” things, citing a Jan. 28 tweet in which he wrote. “69 days later it’s April 20 again, haha,” Musk continued, “That’s how my head works, and for those of you who are offended, I just want to say that I reinvented the electric car, and put people on rockets to Mars… You guys would think I’d be a cool normal guy?” ,
Musk went on to say that most of the time people do really stupid things, citing his past experience smoking pot on the popular Podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience,” about which Musk complained he always heard people say, ” Elon Musk, the only thing you’ve ever done is huff marijuana on Podcast.”
CNBC also reported that although it is not common for businesspeople to host SNL, it is not unprecedented, as Steve Forbes, the grandson of the founder of Forbes, said in the past. Forbes’ grandson, Steve Forbes, hosted SNL during the Republican presidential primary in 1996, and former U.S. President Donald Trump hosted the show in 2015.
In addition, Bloomberg reported that the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, dogcoin, which hit an all-time high of $0.73 on the 8th, fell to $0.51 during the time Musk hosted SNL, a 29% drop in one day. During the “Weekend Update” segment of SNL, Musk was repeatedly asked to explain what dogcoin was, and was asked if dogcoin was a “hustle” (Cambridge dictionary noun meaning When asked if dogcoin was a “hustle” (hustle is a Cambridge noun meaning energetic action, often used in conjunction with bustle and bustle to refer to a situation that is noisy and chaotic), Musk replied, “Yes, it’s indeed a hustle. (Yea, it’s a hustle.)”
