SNL has announced their guests for Saturday, 8th May. Miley Cyrus will appear on the show as a musical guest while Elon Musk has been slated to host.
As you could probably guess hearing those names side by side, the internet is divided.
SNL announced the news to pretty dire reviews.

Some are more bothered by the choice, calling it reckless…
Elon Musk hosting SNL is the most reckless casting decision they’ve made since Donald Trump.

So Elon Musk is hosting SNL & Miley Cyrus is just the musical guest?
Was Miley booked for part of the hour or something, because there is no reason for her to not be the host & musical guest!
Miley – Elon = Better SNL
Elon + Miley = Dumb as sh-t! pic.twitter.com/380fk0Fage

While others are just pissed Elon took the top spot over Miley.
Miley can act, do comedy, and sing. Seems like SNL has one more host than they need. https://t.co/FOS40UZQsC

And of course, other users are just revelling in the strangeness that will be Musk and Cyrus sharing a stage.
