Elon Musk is an odd choice for SNL host. Here's why he was picked

"Saturday Night Live" has made some odd host picks over its history. The long-running NBC variety show's Studio 8H stage has been graced by the likes of Ralph Nader, Steve Forbes, Rudy Giuliani, George Steinbrenner and, famously, Donald Trump.
That off-kilter tradition continues Saturday when Elon Musk, the eccentric tech billionaire, will host the show. Miley Cyrus will join him as musical guest. Musk is a surprising choice for the show given that "SNL" is not known for picking hosts from the tech or business world, usually sticking to celebrities and comedians. Having one of the wealthiest people on the planet on the show — and a controversial one at that — has raised some eyebrows.

On Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security posted a striking graphic on its official X account. Uncle Sam, a symbol of American patriotism, is depicted nailing a poster to a wall that reads, “Help your country… and yourself.” Written underneath the poster is the sentence, “REPORT ALL FOREIGN INVADERS,” and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement hot line.
