Elon Musk is ensuring "Saturday Night Live" fans around the world catch his guest spot tonight with a YouTube livestream that will broadcast the show "in select countries and territories."
The billionaire shared a link to the stream Saturday afternoon just hours before making his "SNL" debut, where he’ll hit the stage alongside musical guest, Miley Cyrus.
"Tonight’s live stream of Saturday Night Live with host Elon Musk is only available in select countries and territories," reads the description of the video posted on "SNL’s official YouTube page. "U.S. audiences can watch live via local television broadcast or cable provider on NBC.com and the NBC App."

A press release provided clarity, adding that, "over 100 countries around the world" will be able to stream via the link, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Mexico, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa, the United Kingdom and more.
The idea could have possibly stemmed from conversation during dinner Tuesday night, where Musk, 49, exchanged pleasantries with "SNL" producers and cast members including Pete Davidson, Colin Jost, Kenan Thompson, Chris Redd, Ego Nwodim and Chloe Fineman.
This contradicts rumors that cast members took issue with Musk’s guest appearance.
