Aidy Bryant reacted by reposting a tweet by Sen. Bernie Sanders that called it a \u201cmoral obscenity\u201d that \u201cthe 50 wealthiest people in America today own more wealth than the bottom half of our people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>SNL writer Andrew Dismukes posted on Instagram: \u201cOnly CEO I want to do a sketch with is Cher-E Oteri.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>SNL often doesn\u2019t like getting too much out of its leftist comfort zone; after a January 2018 CNN poll found that 61% of those surveyed viewed former President George W. Bush favorably, despite the fact that the poll was heavily skewed with 33% of respondents Democrats and only 24% Republicans, Will Ferrell revived his impression of Bush as he gave his response to the poll results, saying, \u201cThat\u2019s right. Donny Q. Trump came in, and suddenly I\u2019m looking pretty sweet by comparison. At this rate, I might even end up on Mount Rushmore, right next to Washington, Lincoln and I want to say, uh, Kensington?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ferrell continued, \u201cI just wanted to address my fellow Americans tonight and remind you guys that I was really bad \u2014 like, historically not good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also possible that Musk\u2019s delight in candidly attacking leftist icons may disturb the members because the show is live; as recently as late February, when asked for comment by The Washington Post about a profile in the Post that quoted various critics slamming him for being stretched too thin, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and Space X, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/give-my-regards-to-your-puppet-master-elon-musk-fires-back-at-wapo-story-and-owner-jeff-bezos\">fired back at the Post<\/a> and ostensibly its owner Jeff Bezos, snapping, \u201cGive my regards to your puppet master.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Only one month prior to that, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/elon-musk-rips-big-tech-censorship-of-conservatives\">responding<\/a> to a story satirizing Big Tech censorship,\u00a0Elon Musk, the world\u2019s richest man and the CEO of Tesla and Space X, tweeted, \u201cA lot of people are going to be super unhappy with West Coast high tech as the de facto arbiter of free speech.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Musk has evinced some conservative views for some time. In May 2020, he gave an indication of how fed-up he is with the leftist governance of what was then his home state of California, apparently urging followers on Twitter to join the conservatives of America as he\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/elon-musk-take-the-red-pill\/\">tweeted succinctly<\/a>, \u201cTake the red pill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In July 2020, he\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/elon-musk-smacks-the-left-with-two-tweets\/\">tweeted an attack<\/a> on the father of communism, Karl Marx, writing, \u201cDas Kapital in a nutshell,\u201d followed by a picture of Marx with the statement in quasi-German, \u201cGib me dat for free.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
