Musk copied Wario down to the last alphabet

Wario is the principal adversary and the final boss in the Mario world. Wario made his first appearance back in 1992 since then fans love this fictional antihero. Despite being a negative role, you just can’t seem to dislike him.

51-year-old multi-billionaire duplicated Wario’s body language and accent in a very mocking and subtle fashion. The skit also included his partner Grimes playing Princess Peach and Pete Davidson. The play showed Musk as Wario being held in court for the murder of Mario, being defended by his lawyer played by Mikey Day.

This performance delighted fans. One tweet read, “How was Elon better at acting than the actual “actors” ?.” Whereas another comment read, “He carried them, they even were able to get some ratings again bc of his appearance. The irony, lol 😂”
