About this appearance
Musk became one of the few non-entertainers to host SNL, and the episode generated more pre-air controversy than any in recent SNL history. In his monologue, he disclosed his Asperger's syndrome diagnosis publicly for the first time on US national television. He performed in multiple skits including playing 'Wario' in a Nintendo parody and a financial expert explaining Dogecoin (which he called 'a hustle'). That phrase sent Dogecoin down 30% live during the broadcast. His mother Maye Musk appeared alongside him in the monologue.
