Satirists can find the funny in almost any topic.
Just ask Mel Brooks, who famously mocked the Third Reich in “The Producers.”
“Springtime for Hitler,” anyone?
It takes creativity, the right angle and, in a perfect world, moral clarity to accomplish. Brooks mocked Hitler’s regime on deeply humane grounds, even if it felt offensive to some.
“Saturday Night Live” could have done something similar with the serial attacks on Tesla cars in recent weeks. Far-Left activists have been setting the EV cars on fire, keying their exteriors and even harassing their drivers.
People are getting hurt. Will someone have to die before the reign of terror ends?

The attacks have a sinister component. Tesla owner Elon Musk’s DOGE campaign has angered progressives, and they see this as a way to change his behavior.
By any means necessary.
Some call it domestic terrorism. Argue with the phrase, but its proponents have a point.
Enter “SNL,” which brought up the topic this weekend during its “cold open” sketch.

The segment featured the usual attacks on President Donald Trump, this time focused on his controversial tariff policies. That’s fair game, although one might ask why “SNL” didn’t hammer the flood of books telling us President Joe Biden’s dementia was an open secret in D.C.
The sketch brought “SNL” alum Mike Myers back to portray Musk. The fictional Musk bragged that a new Tesla model offers an adaptation for modern times.
“Recently, our dealerships have been the targets of many attacks … Suddenly no one likes Tesla cars. I asked myself why, then I answered myself. Because of me!”
His solution? The Tesla Model V.
“The first electric car in history to be fully self-vandalizing! With features like self-smashing headlights, self-slashing tires and AI-powered graffiti … You can choose from penises or swastikas, or my favorite: swastikas made out of penises!”
The vandals in question could spend years behind bars for their actions. Tesla owners, likely Democrats who hoped their purchase would positively impact the climate, now fear for their safety.
“SNL” could have mocked the raging hypocrisy in play. Liberals have spent years demanding more EVs to prevent Climate Change. Now, their party is cheering on attacks against the number one electric car company in the country.
Instead, they turn what many dub domestic terrorism into a laugh line. Maybe Brooks can visit the show’s writers’ room and give them a crash course on Humanity 101.
Editor’s Note: It’s a brutal time to be an independent journalist, but it’s never been more necessary given the sorry state of the corporate press. If you’re enjoying Hollywood in Toto, I hope you’ll consider leaving a coin (or two) in our Tip Jar.
