Now I\u2019m, like, against it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But the Weekend Update anchor brought out even sharper barbs Tuesday during an appearance on syndicated morning radio show, \u201cThe Breakfast Club.\u201d He told fellow black entertainer Charlamagne tha God of his co-stars\u2019 anti-Musk social media posts, \u201cI don\u2019t know, I think white people just don\u2019t like their billionaires, for some reason. It\u2019s weird cuz we love our billionaires. If Oprah or Tyler Perry was coming, we\u2019d be all excited about it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Che was referring to Yang replying, \u201cWhat the f*** does this even mean?\u201d after Musk announced his upcoming SNL appearance on Twitter by teasing, \u201cLet\u2019s find out how live Saturday Night Live really is.\u201d\u00a0 Newbie cast member Dismukes made a cringey pun on Musk\u2019s title, and Bryant pointedly retweeted a comment from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) that Musk\u2019s wealth is a \u201cmoral obscenity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>All three later deleted those posts, suggesting they may have received a call from a corner office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But Che isn\u2019t the only SNL star defending NBC\u2019s decision to book Musk to host the long-running sketch show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Pete Davidson told late night talk host and SNL alum Seth Meyers Tuesday night he\u2019s excited to see Musk. \u201cI\u2019m gonna ask him for, like, a Tesla or some s***,\u201d Davidson said, before seeming to take aim at his disgruntled costars: \u201c\u2019The guy\u2019s a genius. I don\u2019t know why people are freaking out. They\u2019re like, \u2018I can\u2019t believe that Elon Musk is hosting.\u2019 And I\u2019m like, \u2018\u2019The guy that makes the Earth better kind of, makes cool things and sends people to Mars?\u2019\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>If Bryant, Yang, and Dismukes had given the matter deeper thought, they might have taken Musk\u2019s hosting gig as a chance to make big money themselves. Cryptocurrency traders evidently expects the notoriously loose-lipped tech titan to use his opening monologue to once again plug Dogecoin, a popular cryptocurrency he\u2019s played a role in promoting over the last year. The stock began trading at near all-time highs Friday ahead of his appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Davidson, Che, and fellow cast members Colin Jost, Kenan Thompson, Chris Redd, Ego Nwodim and Chloe Fineman were spotted having dinner with Musk Tuesday night at swanky Manhattan eatery, Il Gattopardo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Yang, Dismukes, and Bryant apparently didn\u2019t want to attend or weren\u2019t invited.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Megan Basham (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/megbasham\">@megbasham<\/a>) is the entertainment reporter for The Daily Wire.
