Mike Myers Returns to SNL as Elon Musk, Channels Dr. Evil in Hilarious Cold Open

Mike Myers made a triumphant return to Saturday Night Live, once again parodying Tesla CEO Elon Musk—this time with a special nod to his legendary Austin Powers character, Dr. Evil.

The March 8 episode, hosted by Lady Gaga, featured Myers, 61, reprising his Musk impression during the Cold Open. This marked his second consecutive week playing the billionaire, following a sketch the previous weekend.

The segment poked fun at a reported clash between Musk, Senator Marco Rubio, and other political figures at the White House. As James Austin Johnson’s Donald Trump and Marcello Hernandez’s Rubio debated Musk’s influence in politics, Myers appeared to thunderous applause.

“I can’t believe this is the guy you’ve given access to the entire government. He’s not an elected official,” Hernandez’s Rubio remarked. The scene escalated into a heated exchange before Johnson’s Trump intervened.

The camera then zoomed in on Myers, who delivered an internal monologue as Musk, complete with Dr. Evil’s signature pinky-to-lip gesture.

“Phase one of my plan is complete: ingratiate yourself to the president and take over the media,” he quipped. “But was taking this job a bad idea? A lot of people seem to really hate me. Tesla stock is really crashing, and my personal net worth just dropped by 100 billion dollars.”

The political satire continued with nods to Trump’s March 4 address to Congress, where he made bold claims about his administration’s success, compared himself to George Washington, and criticized Joe Biden over economic issues—including egg prices. He also reiterated past statements about acquiring Greenland and setting sights on Mars.
