Not all 'Saturday Night Live' cast members are thrilled to see Elon Musk as a host

Elon Musk is all set to make his 'Saturday Night Live' debut on May 8 but not all cast members are happy about the choice.

NBC announced the news in a press release on Saturday. But the decision to invite the controversial billionaire to Studio 8H has seemed to lead to discontentment amongst some of the 'SNL'cast members.

Hours after NBC posted the lineup, which features Miley Cyrus as the musical guest, Musk reiterated the news on Twitter. "Am hosting SNL on May 8," the 49-year-old wrote to his 52 million followers.

"Let's find out just how live Saturday Night Live really is," he continued, adding a purple devil emoji.

Several of the season 46 'SNL'cast members appeared to respond to the news on social media.

Bowen Yang, a featured player that joined the show as a staff writer in 2018, posted a frowning emoji on his Instagram story around the same time NBC released the May 8 lineup. Though it remains unconfirmed that Yang's story was related to the announcement, he later responded directly to Musk's tweet.

"what the f--- does this even mean," he wrote on his Instagram story, reposting the tech executive's question regarding "how live" the show is.

Many suspected that Aidy Bryant, a repertory player that's been on the "SNL" roster since 2012, disapproved of the hosting decision as well after she reshared Sen. Bernie Sanders' tweet about the "absurd" economic inequality in the US on Saturday.

The tweet didn't directly mention Musk, but it did point to the "50 wealthiest people in this country." And as of Monday, Forbes listed Musk's net worth at $179.5 billion, putting him at the top of the list that Sanders' mentioned.

Andrew Dismukes, an 'SNL'writer-turned-featured player, also appeared to weigh in on Musk's upcoming appearance.

"Only CEO I wanna do sketch with is Cher-E Oteri," he wrote on his Instagram story, referring to Cheri Oteri, a cast member on the comedy-sketch series from 1995 to 2000.

In 2015, the show drew falk after Donald Trump hosted the series while campaigning for president. The episode sparked backlash, as many didn't agree with creator and executive producer Lorne Michael's decision to give him a platform.
