<p>&#8220;Saturday Night Live&#8221; regulars Colin Jost and Michael Che mocked billionaire Elon Musk over his possible plans to buy Twitter — which the Tesla and Space-X co-founder says is all about returning the platform to its promise as a haven for free speech.</p>
<p>Jost and Che took aim at the issue from several angles, arguing everything from it being a poor business decision to it being a thinly-disguised effort to make sure that white people could say &#8220;the n-word.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Your Weekend Update with Colin and Che! <a href="https://t.co/R3rAR28Dhc">pic.twitter.com/R3rAR28Dhc</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Saturday Night Live &#8211; SNL (@nbcsnl) <a href="https://twitter.com/nbcsnl/status/1515567176056508416?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 17, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;Elon Musk offered to buy Twitter for over $40 billion so he can loosen its free speech restrictions,&#8221; Che began. &#8220;That&#8217;s how badly white guys want to use the ‘N-word.'&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I don’t understand why Elon even wants to own Twitter,&#8221; Jost replied, laughing. &#8220;It used to be something that seemed important and even fun and now you look at it and it’s confusing and depressing. It’s the Giuliani of apps.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jost went on to make a joke a the expense of Britain&#8217;s <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/prince-harry-and-meghan-markle-visit-queen-elizabeth-ii-for-first-time-since-stepping-down-from-royal-roles-report/">Prince Harry and Meghan Markle</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Come on, Elon — Elon built electric cars, he’s going to Mars, why is he even involving himself with Twitter?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;It would be like if the Prince of England gave it all up just to marry an actor from &#8216;Suits.'&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Plus, Twitter isn’t even that profitable anymore. It just feels like a bad business decision. And I say that as someone who <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/11/nyregion/pete-davidson-colin-jost-staten-island-ferry.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bought a Staten Island Ferry</a> with Pete [Davidson],&#8221; Jost concluded.</p>
<p>Musk made the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/saudi-princes-rejection-of-musk-offer-highlights-twitters-history-of-housing-alleged-saudi-spies/">$43 billion offer</a> after recently becoming Twitter&#8217;s largest individual shareholder and turning down a spot on the board. The board responded with a poison pill, as The Daily Wire <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/breaking-twitter-board-passes-poison-pill-to-stop-musk-takeover/">reported</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>The board has adopted a “limited duration shareholder rights plan,” which gives Twitter’s existing shareholders, except Musk, time to purchase additional shares at a discount, Axios <a href="https://www.axios.com/twitter-elon-musk-poison-pill-7a62f6d6-b77a-4481-a2e3-5a7081557a84.html">reported</a> Friday.</em></p>
<p><em>The desired effect is clearly to dilute Musk’s holding in the company, and make the cost of a takeover higher or even prohibitive.</em></p>
<p class="css-g5piaz evys1bk0"><em>“A poison pill, devised by law firms in the 1980s to protect companies from corporate raiders, essentially lets a takeover target flood the market with new shares or allow existing shareholders other than the bidder to buy them at a discount,” The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/15/business/dealbook/twitter-poison-pill-elon-musk.html?smtyp=cur&amp;smid=tw-nytimes">explained</a>. “That means anyone trying to acquire the company must negotiate directly with the board.”</em></p>
<p class="css-g5piaz evys1bk0"><em>The pill will be activated “once any individual or a group of people working together buy 15 percent or more of Twitter’s shares,” the Times noted.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>The two also took aim at President Joe Biden during their &#8220;Weekend Update&#8221; segment, mocking video of the president apparently finishing a speech and turning to shake hands with someone who was not there.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Biden just finished his speech and shook hands with nobody <a href="https://t.co/XLndAZcHiD">pic.twitter.com/XLndAZcHiD</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDailyWire/status/1514693033056473088?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 14, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;A video has also gone viral of President Biden finishing a speech in North Carolina, then apparently turning to shake hands with an invisible person,&#8221; Jost began, then delivering the punchline: &#8220;Hey, her name is Kamala.&#8221;</p>
<p>After some mumbling from the audience, Jost added, &#8220;When was the last time you saw her?&#8221;</p>
