Elon takes on interracial crime, infuriates the left



Elon Musk has a history of upsetting the left on Twitter, and he’s not stopping any time soon.

In fact, it seems he’s actually upped the ante with several recent tweets in response to current crime patterns and more specifically what these patterns reflect: race.

Lauren Chen reports that “if you’ve been on social media over the past few days, you’ll have seen that Elon Musk appears to have taken a journey down the rabbit hole that is interracial crime.”

While Musk has responded to several tweets on interracial crime, the one that really got him in trouble with the left was an image that depicts the stats related to interracial crime.

The image showed a man with a camera focusing on the percentage of white-on-black crime in a graph — meant to reflect media outlets and their coverage — while ignoring all other forms of crime.

Elon simply responded “Odd, why would the media misrepresent the real situation to such an extreme degree?”

The issue of interracial crime has dominated headlines recently after Jordan Neely, a homeless black man, was subdued during an erratic outburst, allegedly put in a choke hold by a bystander, and died.

Chen says sarcastically, “It seems like the only crime stories we ever hear of are of white people attacking poor defenseless black people who weren’t doing anything, like Jordan Neely.”

According to the left, Chen says, Neely “was just an innocent Michael Jackson impersonator on the subway” who was “simply killed for being black.”

“No other reason,” she continues, “like being an aggressive, violent, homeless man.”

Chen says the media and leftists in general “are committed to demonizing white people.”

“Congrats to Elon for actually talking about this issue and not backing down where he’s right just because leftist bullies are threatening him,” Chen adds.

'Be grateful': Actor Jon Lovitz chastises 'SNL' cast members triggered by Elon Musk hosting



Iconic actor and comedian Jon Lovitz chastised cast members on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" for grousing over the invitation to Tesla CEO Elon Musk to host the show.

Lovitz, who is a former "Saturday Night Live" member, offered muted criticism but followed it up by contrasting the attitude of modern actors with that of his generation.

"For everyone @nbcsnl who isn't sure about the host... Don't forget where you were before you got the show. We are all extraordinarily lucky to have been on it," Lovitz said.

"Be grateful and enjoy your time on SNL," he continued. "Because nothing lasts forever."

Cast members and writers of the longtime sketch comedy show bristled when the Tesla CEO was announced as a guest host. Others criticized them for being triggered and outraged against Musk without any clear or consistent reasoning on why he's so controversial.

Lovitz continued his criticism after some on Twitter disagreed with him.

"I didn't stay. I didn't leave. I did my job that I was hired to do. I was paid to be on the show. When you get hired for a job, you show up and do it," said Lovitz.

"This concept apparently is foreign to a lot of people these days. That's what owners of businesses tell me," he added.

SNL cast member Pete Davidson voiced confusion at the reaction from some of his colleagues.

"I don't know why people are freaking out," Davidson said Wednesday. "They're like, 'Oh, I can't believe that Elon Musk is hosting!' And I'm like, 'The guy that makes the earth better kinda and makes cool things and sends people to Mars?'"

Lovitz was a member on SNL from 1985 to 1990 and later starred in various movies as well as his own short-lived animated show, "The Critic."

The cast members who voiced opposition to Musk were reportedly given a "safe space" to avoid participating on Saturday's show. Musk noted in his monologue that he made history on the show for being the first host with Asperger's syndrome.

"Or at least the first to admit it," he added.

Here's Elon Musk's opening monologue on SNL:

Pete Davidson defends upcoming 'SNL' host Elon Musk after cast members melt down over Tesla CEO's appearance



Comedian and "Saturday Night Live" cast member Pete Davidson has spoken up in defense of Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his upcoming hosting duties on the long-running sketch show.

Several cast members spoke out in protest against show runners choosing Musk to host the show, purportedly over his massive fortune.

The billionaire Musk is set to host the show on Saturday alongside musical guest Miley Cyrus.

What are the details?

On Wednesday night, Davidson told late-night TV host Seth Meyers that he simply didn't understand why people were "freaking out" about Musk's appearance.

"I don't know why people are freaking out," Davidson said. "They're like, 'Oh, I can't believe that Elon Musk is hosting!' And I'm like, 'The guy that makes the earth better kinda and makes cool things and sends people to Mars?'"

He also joked that he wanted to attend dinner with him and planned to "ask him for, like, a Tesla or some s***."

Davidson previously said that he was "really excited" for Musk's appearance.

Cast member Michael Che agreed, and added, "Yeah, you know, that's gonna be exciting ... He's the richest man in the world, how could you not be excited for that?"

As previously reported by Blaze Media:

After the news of one of the richest people on the planet set to host the comedy show, longtime "SNL" cast member Aidy Bryant reposted a tweet by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) that said, "The 50 wealthiest people in America today own more wealth than the bottom half of our people. Let me repeat that, because it is almost too absurd to believe: the 50 wealthiest people in this country own more wealth than some 165 MILLION Americans. That is a moral obscenity."

What was NBC's response?

In response to the outcry, NBC vowed that any of the comedy sketch show's cast members offended by Musk will be "provided a safe space."

"Speaking historically, if a cast member has been that unhappy, they don't have to do it," a source purportedly close to production told Page Six. "['SNL' boss Lorne Michaels] won't ever make them do anything they don't want to do."

After posting, then deleting, cynical messages, 'SNL' cast members given safe space if they don't want to appear with Elon Musk



Some "Saturday Night Live" cast members and a writer don't appear to be welcoming Elon Musk, who is an upcoming host of the NBC sketch TV show. Two "SNL" cast members posted and then deleted seemingly standoffish messages toward the Tesla CEO on social media shortly after Musk was announced as the host for the May 8 episode.

Last month, it was announced that Musk would host "SNL."

"Weekend Update" host Michael Che did what comedians are supposed to do: make jokes. During an interview with former "SNL" star Jimmy Fallon, Che joked about Musk hosting, "I am excited to meet him, but I don't know if he knows, usually, we have this tradition at 'Saturday Night Live,' it's customary for the hosts to give like a couple million dollars to the cast members."

But not everyone was excited to see the billionaire on "Saturday Night Live."

The SpaceX founder tweeted, "Let's find out just how live Saturday Night Live really is," which received over 215,000 Likes on Twitter.

"SNL" cast member Bowen Yang took a screen capture of Musk's tweet and replied, "What the f*** does this even mean?"

"SNL" writer Andrew Dismukes reacted on Instagram by saying, "Only CEO I want to do a sketch with is Cher-E Oteri," a reference to "Saturday Night Live" alum Cheri Oteri.

After the news of one of the richest people on the planet set to host the comedy show, longtime "SNL" cast member Aidy Bryant reposted a tweet by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) that said, "The 50 wealthiest people in America today own more wealth than the bottom half of our people. Let me repeat that, because it is almost too absurd to believe: the 50 wealthiest people in this country own more wealth than some 165 MILLION Americans. That is a moral obscenity."

Sanders, an avowed socialist, has butted heads with the billionaire Musk in the past. Sanders called out Musk, who has a net worth of $173 billion.

"We are in a moment in American history where two guys — Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos — own more wealth than the bottom 40% of people in this country," Sanders said in March. "That level of greed and inequality is not only immoral. It is unsustainable."

While Musk hosts the May 8 episode, Miley Cyrus will be the musical guest on the comedy skit show, and she received blowback for participating in a teaser clip with the billionaire. When announcing her appearance on "SNL" with Musk, the pop singer was met with some criticism from dozens of her diehard fans.

A fan tweeted, "I like you, Miley. But there is no way in hell that I'll be watching Elon Musk do anything. Honestly, folks should boycott this."

Another stated, "Girl you have the power to stop this."

One Twitter user wrote, "Don't show. Not worth it. He's not worth it."
