(AP) — Elon Musk showed a combination of humility and hubris as he opened his highly anticipated hosting gig on “Saturday Night Live.”

The Tesla CEO, SpaceX founder and one of the world’s richest men opened his monologue by mocking his monotonal speaking style.

He said he is the first person with Asperger's syndrome to host the show, or at least the first one to admit it.

He then joked about his controversial Twitter account, saying to anyone who has been offended, “I reinvented electric cars, and I’m sending people to Mars in a rocket ship. Did you think I was also going to be a chill, normal dude?”
