Saturday Night Live (SNL) star Chloe Fineman slammed Elon Musk in a since-deleted TikTok video, accusing the billionaire businessman of making her cry.
Fineman’s video came amid Musk’s criticism of the show in which he was parodied last week The skit saw Dana Carvey appear as the Tesla owner and supporter of Donald Trump – a clip which prompted Musk to say SNL had been “dying slowly.”
In response to Musk’s backlash, Fineman said she had seen “some news article about Elon Musk being butt hurt about ‘SNL’ and his impression” on the show. Referring to the X owner’s criticism, Fineman added, “I’m like, ‘You’re clearly watching the show. Like, what are you talking about?’”
Musk hosted the show in May 2021, and Fineman accused him of being the “awful” SNL host who made “multiple cast members cry”.
“And I’m like, you know what? 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. Maybe there’s others,” Fineman continued. “But I’m like, no, if you’re gonna go on your platform and be rude, like, guess what? You made I, Chloe Fineman, burst into tears because I stayed up all night writing the sketch.”
Musk was reportedly unimpressed with Fineman’s sketch at the time, although it would later make it to the airwaves.
Musk has since weighed in to state that he didn’t find any of the sketches he read funny.
Needless to say, her attempts for sympathy were dismissed on social media.
Others said they had little time for Fineman’s complaints.
And Elon didn’t have any to offer her either.
