Billionaire Elon Musk dropped a surprise early in his hotly anticipated turn as host of 'Saturday Night Live,' saying in his monologue that he 'is the first person with Asperger's' to host the show, before clowning through skits for the first global livestream of the NBCUniversal comedy show.

Asperger syndrome is a condition on the autism spectrum that is associated with difficulty in social interaction, and sometimes is referred to as high functioning autism. "To anyone I’ve offended I just want to say, I reinvented electric cars and send people to Mars on a rocket ship. Did you think I would be a Joe normal dude?"

Musk was most convincing playing a version of himself as head of SpaceX dealing with an emergency on a Martian colony. The crisis had a happy ending, until it didn't. Musk got days of attention across all forms of media ahead of the show, and shared the spotlight with a prototype of Tesla's futuristic Cybertruck that Tesla brought to Manhattan on Friday. Video of the hulking, angular pickup prowling Manhattan streets blew up on social media.

He was great on the show and I am a baby boomer!

I didn't bother to watch; did anyone mention the sketchy spy satellites he keeps launching?

I owe you an apology to ever doubt your sincerity and professionalism. It’s was just like a dream to me when I received my first payment. After my second payment it became a reality now after several payments it has become a way of life. William_3BTC

Awful show Tonite...Musk not a good host...even with writers...and I can't believe comedian in skit said something about stretching her p___y and crack! Wow! Loved Miley's purple jacket...and pink outfit...that was it. SNL need new writers, or get the old ones back..

The whole show sucked, only thing to rescue was MileyCyrus.
