'Saturday Night Live' tackled various controversies surrounding Donald Trump's second inauguration, his executive orders, and Elon Musk's controversial salute.

AceShowbiz - On the latest episode of "Saturday Night Live", the "Weekend Update" team, featuring anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che, took sharp jabs at Donald Trump's second presidential inauguration and the implications of his recent executive actions.

The skit began with Colin Jost pointing out a rather bizarre moment during Trump's oath-taking ceremony. The President was traditionally required to place his hand on the Lincoln Bible, but Trump did not do this. "Well, he tried to," Jost quipped, "but the Bible screamed." This joke set a clear tone for the comedic critique that followed.

Elon Musk also found himself in the crosshairs of "Weekend Update" humor, following his controversial straight-arm salute at a post-inauguration rally. While many interpreted it as a "Sieg Heil," Che playfully denied Musk was a Nazi, "But come on, Elon Musk is not a Nazi. The Nazis made nice cars," seemingly dissing Musk's cyber truck design which many called ugly.

Jost wrapped up the segment with an ironic commentary on recent photos posted by the White House, depicting migrants boarding military planes for deportation. "And Trump said the deportations won't stop until a white kid wins the Spelling Bee," Jost remarked.

This episode of "Weekend Update" encapsulated the blend of humor and critical reflection that makes the segment a staple for dissecting current political events, resonating particularly well with its young audience.
