Chloe Fineman isn't joking around anymore. The Saturday Night Live star clapped back at Elon Musk 's recent criticism of the sketch comedy show by sharing that the Tesla CEO made her cry when he hosted an episode back in 2021 . "I just saw some news article about Elon Musk being butt hurt about SNL and his impression," Chloe began in a video shared to her TikTok Nov.
11 , "but I'm like, 'You're clearly watching the show. Like, what are you talking about?'" The 36-year-old seemingly alleged that Elon was the anonymous celebrity host that costar Bowen Yang had previously accused of making "multiple cast members cry" because "he hated the ideas." "I'm gonna come out and say at long last that I'm the cast member that he made cry," Chloe shared, "and he's the host that made someone cry.
Maybe there's others." And the comedian detailed exactly why she broke down during rehearsals for the show, saying, "You made I, Chloe Fineman, burst into tears because I stayed up all night writing this sketch. I was so excited, I came in, I asked if you had any questions and you stared at me like you were firing me from Tesla and you were like, 'It's not funny.
'" "I waited for you to be like, 'Haha, J.K.,'" Chloe continued.
"No—then you started pawing through my script, flipping each page like, 'I didn't laugh. I didn't laugh one time.'" Ultimately, the sketch still got chosen, and Chloe admitted that Elon was "really funny in it"—but she didn't think any of that excused his behavior.
