The new episode of Saturday Night Live opens in the White House, where, per an explosive New York Times article, a cabinet meeting ended in a shouting match between the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, (Marcello Hernández) and the Doge head, Elon Musk (Mike Myers). Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) attempts to broker a truce between the two.
The meeting doesn’t go well, with each man drifting off into their own internal monologues: Rubio just hears the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme; Trump’s thoughts weave between Adrien Brody and Waluigi before attaining a first ever bout of self-awareness, and Musk questions his decision to take over the government now that everybody hates him, his Tesla stock is tanking and his personal wealth has taken a hit.
