During his SNL hosting gig, Elon Musk starred in a sketch where Mars colonists were dying horrible deaths due to asphyxiation.
Elon Musk’s hotly anticipated episode of Saturday Night Live was filled with surprises, awkward moments, and the occasional laugh — but one of the better sketches of the night had the SpaceX founder joking about Mars colonists dying a horrible and painful death. The sketch, titled “ Chad on Mars,” showcased Musk playing himself as he attempts to save a desperate colony on Mars from certain doom as their oxygen level runs out. Luckily, there’s a hero willing to sacrifice themselves for the colony: Chad, played by Pete Davidson.
