Saturday Night Live took aim at Elon Musk’s staffing cuts at Twitter and the potential for the spread of misinformation with a mock council listening to why bad actors should have their accounts reinstated.
“They said I was a bot, whichis crazy.I’m all woman, and I love funnyguys like you,” said Amy Schumer.“In fact, you should check outthis website where me and someother girls hang out and meetcute guys: www.sexpalace.bitcoinscam.iraq.”
“Sounds too good to be true,” replied Kenan Thompson, playing one-half of the council, which was comprised of Twitter’s remaining workforce.
“Oh my god.You’re so funny,” Schumer continued suspiciously. “I bet you have an awesome socialsecurity number.”
“Nah.It’s nothing crazy.It’s just 04378–” Thompson said before being corrected by colleague Chloe Fineman.
Later, James Austin Johnson as former President Donald Trump got his turn, and he began by rambling about his middle name, John, before being corralled back on point.
“Why do you want to be back onTwitter?” asked Fineman. “Didn’t you start your own socialmedia website?”
“Excuse me.Excuse me.Excuse me. Excuse me,” he replied. “Yes, we’ve all moved to TruthSocial, and we love Truth Social.It’s very great, and in manyways also terrible.It’s very bad.Very, very bad.It’s a little buggy in terms ofmaking the phone screen crackand the automatically drainingof the Venmo.Anyway, let me back on Twitter. I’ll do another ‘covfefe.’ I won’tdo anything bad except maybecoup.”
“All right,” came the naive response from the council. “Might as well roll the dice,right?”
