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

The Wrap reported that the social media posts unhappy with Elon Musk seem to have been deleted.  And SNL producer Loren Michaels has said that any member of the cast and crew that does not agree with the decision to have Musk host is free not to be involved with the segment.

Miley Cyrus seemed happy that Musk was hosting. And a few of her fans were outraged. When she sent a tweet. Some claimed that she didn’t have to pretend to like him. And asked her to please delete the post.
