Elon Musk not the first person with Asperger's to host 'Saturday Night Live'

Elon Musk claimed in his "Saturday Night Live" opening monologue that he was the first person with Asperger syndrome, a condition on the autism spectrum, to host the variety sketch show.

"I'm actually making history tonight as the first person with Asperger's to host "Saturday Night Live," he said before adding, "The first to admit it."

The billionaire businessman was actually incorrect. It was in fact former "SNL" cast member Dan Aykroyd who came back to host in 2003.

"Dan Aykroyd is autistic and hosted SNL in 2003. In case anyone forgot," wrote one Twitter user.
