Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, will on May 8 host NBC's "Saturday Night Live," the network announced Saturday.
Musk will be joined by Miley Cyrus, who will be the episode's musical guest.
This will be Musk's first time hosting SNL. It will be Cyrus' sixth appearance as a musical guest on the show, NBC said in a press release Saturday.
The announcement came a day after Musk's SpaceX successfully launched four multinational astronauts into space as part of a NASA mission named Crew-2.

The announcement from SNL drew mixed reactions online, as Musk is a polarizing figure known for his controversial behavior on Twitter.
