Before this weeks show started, Elon Musk had already won.
And despite a tweet about testing out just how liveSNLreally is, ultimately Musk just wanted toseemdangerous and naughty.

IfSNLjust wanted people talking about it, that worked; sussing out the ratings stuff will have to wait.
As usual, this weeks sketches are presented here ranked from best to worst.
Nwodims exasperation and exhaustion reward a second watch.
Josts bits about Goop and Universal Studios new ride are worthwhile, too.
While Chad remains his Zen self, the writers smartly up the stakes in this beat of the sketch.
Should I give him more details or should I die?).
After touring his social-media misses, Musk says, To anyone Ive offended …
I reinvented electric cars and Im sending people to Mars on a rocket ship.
Did you think I was also gonna be a chill, normal dude?
Theres an ugly O.J.
Wario
After Mario dies in a go-kart accident, Wario (Musk) goes on trial.
The rhythm never quite clicks.
(Grimes, it should be said, is a pretty decent melodramatic Peach.)
As good as Fineman is, the expansion of Oolis world doesnt add much to her character.

McKinnons solid, though, as is Melissa Villasenor as Bjork.
