Mike Myers makes surprise ‘SNL’ cameo as Elon Musk in cold open skit of Zelensky’s meeting with Trump

Mike Myers made a surprise “Saturday Night Live” cameo as Elon Musk in a skit about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s disastrous meeting with US President Donald Trump last week.

The “Austin Powers” star barged onto the Oval Office set after James Austin Johnson, who portrayed Trump, told Zelensky, played by Mikey Day, that he was “disrespectful” for not wearing a suit.

“You’re not even wearing a suit. It’s disrespectful — who shows up to the White House in a T-shirt and jeans like a garbage person?” Johnson said to Day.

Myers, as Musk, walked up behind Trump and Zelensky’s character while wearing a “Tech Support” T-shirt, jeans and a long black coat, similar to what the tech billionaire wore to a White House meeting earlier this month.

The actor, 61, carried a chainsaw and jumped in the air before interrupting the conversation, saying, “Hi guys.”

“Elon, we love your outfit. Very official and respectful,” Johnson, as Trump, said.

“Thanks, Donald,” Myers responded, adding, “What are you doing in my office? You know I’m the president now, right? I’m kidding, I’m kidding. Maybe not.”

“You know you’ve got to make a joke,” the “Love Guru” star quipped before jumping in the air and saying, “Legalize comedy!”

The skit then poked fun at the recent mass government layoffs and how the Tesla CEO was appointed the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

“They’re saying I’m firing people with no cause. But I do have cause — it’s ‘cause I feel like it,” Myers’ said.

“They’re doing mass firings in the government. We love mass firings,” Johnson said, as Myers chimed in, saying, “Firing the non-essential employees, like air traffic controllers.”

Reps for Musk, 53, weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.

Myers was a regular host on “SNL” from 1989 to 1995 and appeared in more than 100 episodes.

The “Shrek” star recently reflected on his career on the long-standing comedy show at December’s Vulture Festival.

Myers shared he “had an anxiety attack” and was “scared s–tless” when he started but was ultimately accepted by the audience.
