In between trying to negotiate the corridors of power in New Delhi to smoothen the way for his Starlink broadband project in India, scout around for the next facility for Tesla electric vehicles and sending rockets into space, Elon Musk has lined up a new gig — being a TV host.
Technology mogul Musk’s new gig in addition to his jobs as CEO of electric car maker Tesla and spaceship maker SpaceX will be to host the iconic American TV show “Saturday Night Live”, an AP dispatch from new York stated.
Musk’s scheduled May 8 appearance builds upon his recent run of success. Tesla’s stock is worth nearly six times more than it was before the pandemic started, leaving Musk with an estimated fortune of $177 billion, according to Forbes magazine. And, SpaceX just launched a mission that sent astronauts to the International Space Station.
‘Saturday Night Live’ doesn’t make a habit of having business executives host its show, but Musk is far from a stuffy corporate type.
He regularly jokes around on Twitter, where he has nearly 52 million followers and has gotten into legal trouble for making disparaging remarks about critics and hinting that he might lead a buyout of Tesla that resulted in him getting fined $20 million by stock market regulators.
Miley Cyrus will be the musical guest on the night Musk hosts.
