Someone explain to me why SNL needs to make this person more famous?

[SledDriver]

1. Ratings

[Ron Green]

2. SNL needs this person to make their TV show more famous.

[-misanthroptimist]

3. He has a fan club...for some reason.

[Carlitos Brigante]

4. What was it, 5 years now since they had the republican grand wizard on? They apparently

think it's funny to have wooden, untalented (comedy - wise) rich people every so often. Because they expect to boost their ratings. Can't wait for the Dan Crenshaw episode. And if they bring in Tucker Swanson and he tries to "dance" (for lack of a better term). Just know that the apocalypse us real and that's one of the last signs, before it all ends.......

5. Won't make any difference. He's already "more" famous because he's remarkable.

His SpaceX just delivered four astronauts to the International Space Station, and now he wants to deliver people to the moon in 2024.

The obnoxious and irresponsible firecrackers he occasionally explodes on Twitter are irrelevant to the reality that he's one of those people whose existence changes the world.

12. Degenerate who's net worth went up 3 x during the first few months of the pandemic.

The same time asking his workers to take a pay cut.

[Hortensis]

15. Part of his fame, and anger travels farther and faster than admiration too.

Imo, calling him a degenerate is a bit much because he doesn't share your opinions about what he should be doing. He could call you a degenerate because he doesn't agree with yours, but it wouldn't make it true.

19. Fact, employees took a pay cut while Musk made billions, not an opinion.

27. Don't bother, some people just worship wealthy people, don't know why...

Elon Musk didn't build the SpaceX ship, after all, he has workers and engineers on staff do that for him. He just takes the credit and the tax subsidies.

[tenderfoot]

23. Changes for the better?

Seems to me that he's about him.

[Celerity]

29. For once we completely agree. Time for a nightcap!

[Hortensis]

34. I'll join you. :)

[Bobstandard]

6. I want to know: is he funny?

You’ve got to admit, Musk is good at a whole lot of stuff. He’s not just sitting on his wealth, instead he’s leveraging it to create a whole bunch of new companies that employ a whole bunch of people. Cars. Rockets. Tunnels. (Tunnels?) He’s interesting, at the very least. Now we get to find out if he’s funny.

7. It amazes me what bothers some people

[LanternWaste]

33. Drinking early?

[Dr. Strange]

35. I know, right?

Admittedly, having an audience on Twitter seems to kill brain cells for some people.

[MineralMan]

8. It's not a matter of "need," really.

I don't watch SNL. Too late for me. However, what that TV show does is not really much of a concern for me. I can't really see why it's a concern for anyone, really.

[Treefrog]

10. Exactly my thoughts.

[uponit7771]

17. Relatively popular show regardless of who watches it

[tonedevil]

20. It seems to be worth a paragraph to you. /nt

[MineralMan]

26. I had a minute to spare.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

9. Which one? Miley?

[Progressive Jones]

28. Thank You !!! nt

[llmart]

30. That was my first thought.

[SYFROYH]

11. Weirdest question on DU I've seen in quite a while.

And that's saying something.

[SCantiGOP]

14. +1

I agree

[Hassin Bin Sober]

13. Don't. Watch.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

16. I'm with you on that. I stayed up last night as late as the start of SNL. When I saw that

it was a rerun, I turned off the TV and went to bed.

[kcr]

22. Don't reply?

I mean, why are any of us even here commenting on anything, then.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

24. I didn't say don't reply. I said don't watch.

Do you really need me to explain the difference?

[Mr.Bill]

18. Can someone also explain

why they need to make Miley Cyrus more famous?

[struggle4progress]

21. I'll just hope he's aboard his first Colonize Mars rocket

[BannonsLiver]

38. Thread winner.

[BGBD]

25. I'm sure this

will be the first time SNL viewers will have heard of Elon Musk....

[Retired Engineer Bob]

31. I dunno

Can’t get to worked up either way. Tesla, hyper loop, Space-X, seems he is making a difference. Do I worship the guy - hell no. OTOH, seems to me that guys like Musk and Gates contribute to progress. Sure as heck much better than Mr. Twice Impeached and other born with a silver spoon conmen will ever achieve.

[Retired Engineer Bob]

32. Besides

Anyone that fires up a joint during a TV interview can’t be all bad.

[BannonsLiver]

37. That's one show I'll skip.

Cant stand that libertarian pig. I bet his fanboys here get the tingles though.

[UTUSN]

39. That's what *I* say!
