Chloe Fineman Says Elon Musk Made Her Cry When He Hosted 'SNL'

Saturday Night Live’s Chloe Fineman is calling out former host Elon Musk.

In a now-deleted TikTok video posted Monday, November 11, Fineman claimed that the Tesla and SpaceX CEO made her cry when he hosted the NBC sketch show in May 2021.

“OK, I just saw some news article about Elon Musk being butthurt about SNL and his impression,” the comedian, 36, began the video, referring to Musk slamming Dana Carvey’s impression of him on the Saturday, November 9, episode of SNL. (“SNL has been dying slowly for years, as they become increasingly out of touch with reality,” Musk shared via X on Sunday, November 10.)

Fineman said in her video, “I’m gonna come out and say, at long last, that I’m the cast member that he made cry and he’s the host that made someone cry.”

“I’m like, no, if you’re gonna go on your platform and be rude like, guess what?” she continued. “You made I, Chloe Fineman, burst into tears because I stayed up all night writing the sketch, I was so excited, I came in, I asked if you have any questions, and you stared at me like you were firing me from Tesla and were like, ‘It’s not funny.’ I waited for you to be like, ‘Haha, JK.’ No. Then you started pawing through my script being like, ‘I didn’t laugh once. Not one time.’”

Fineman concluded the video saying, “Cut to the sketch [that] made it on [TV] and it was fine and I actually had a really good time, and I thought you’re really funny in it, but have a little manners here, sir.”

Us Weekly has reached out to Musk’s representatives for comment.

Back in August, Fineman’s costar Bowen Yang said that a past SNL host made “multiple cast members cry,” though he did not name the culprit.

Speaking on the “Fly on the Wall” podcast in September, Yang gave further details about the incident.

“Imagine you stay up until 4 a.m. writing a sketch and then the host is like, ‘I f—ing hate this,’” Yang, who has been on SNL since 2018, said. “Your nerves are frayed, you’re going to have some weird, bizarre emotional response.”

Yang noted that he was “not saying [he] was the one who cried.”
