My take re SNL: Much better than expected, actually really great, from an Elon (and Tesla) PR perspective
(I found most skits on YT but didn't bother with VPN so I might have missed a few pieces)
Chad on Mars: Elon is the commander.: He is in charge. Elon wants Mars to work and people to be safe. But when Chads are around all bets are off.
Sub-text: Elon is a true leader and not an evil billionaire.
The news re. Chinese rocket: A rocket blew up but for once it is not Elons fault.
Sub-text: SpaceX is actually doing better than than China. (Skit also written before they stuck the landing with SN15, so... even better)
Opening monologue : I predict it will be studied as a masterpiece in PR/re-branding.
Mic drop.

- Humanizing:
- Self-ironic joke about talking in monotones and being on the spectrum.
- Great respect and warmth&love for mother. Awkward but loving.
- Re-iteration his great and positive vision: I believe in a renewable energy future. I believe that humanity must become a multi planetary, space faring civilization. They seem like exciting goals, don't they?
- The twitter defense: For all the people I offended ... [comedic pause, setting up expectation of apology]: I re-invented electric cars and I am sending people to Mars on a rocket ship. [Elon looking at people with a pre-punchline challenging gaze] Did you [really] think I was also going to be a chill normal dude?"
Mic drop.
