between Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskyy last week, the March 8 episode followed as James Austin Johnson’s Trump tried to bring a truce between Marco Rubio (Marcello Hernandez) and Elon Musk (Mike Myers) during a meeting in the oval office. The “SNL” meeting followed a New York Times report about a heated cabinet meeting that ended in a screaming match between Trump’s Secretary of State and the X CEO and head of DOGE.

“I know you’re under a lot of stress, but I can’t have you fighting with Elon,” Trump said to Rubio while prepping him to welcome Musk into the meeting. “I need you to be my good litte Marco.” Rubio appears ready to tell off his boss but says, “If you think I’m going to stand here and let you call me that… You’re right!”

Rubio proceeds to give Trump an update on his efforts to retake the Panama Canal — one of the president’s early whims since taking office. But Trump tells him he is no longer interested in that because “it sounds like a hassle.” The interaction contains a few hilarious asides going on in each politicians’ head, including this one from Trump: “Wait a minute, what is this? I’m thinking something and not saying it out loud. Whoa. This is a whole new thing. This is crazy. This can save me a lot of trouble. I should do this more often. I won’t, but I should.”

When Musk appears, the power dynamic shifts as Trump attempts to ease the tension between his colleagues. Rubio calls out his boss for giving so much government power and access to Musk. After exchanging some barbs, Trump reminds Musk that Rubio is an important part of the team.

The CEO then has his own aside inside his mind, saying: “Phase one of my plan is complete: Ingratiate yourself to the president and take over the media. But was taking this job a bad idea? A lot of people seem to really hate me, like Tesla’s stock is crashing and my personal net worth just dropped by $100 billion.”

Trump proceeds to establish some rules between Rubio and Musk to minimize any more bad headlines. He tells Rubio to get his budget under control, while telling the DOGE head to stay in his lane.

Then Musk reminds Trump of the $300 million he paid Trump to take over control of his government, so the president tells him he’ll get out of “your office.”
