Elon Musk Meets Pete Davidson's Slacker Chad On 'SNL' Mars With Explosive Results

Elon Musk playing himself meeting Pete Davidson’s slacker character Chad on Mars on “Saturday Night Live” was perfect — until it wasn’t.

Davidson’s Chad was awaiting instructions in a spacesuit on the Mars colony, as always, way chill, no matter what’s asked of him.

“Chad, I want you to understand you won’t survive this mission,” explained Musk. “Okay,” Chad responded.

He does survive — until Musk tells Chad he wants everyone to see the face of a hero.
