Chloe Fineman confirms that 'rude' Elon Musk was the 'SNL' host who made her cry

As a film enthusiast with over three decades of watching Saturday Night Live, I must say that the recent drama behind the scenes between Chloe Fineman and Elon Musk is quite intriguing. The fact that a tech billionaire like Musk could make a talented comedian like Fineman cry speaks volumes about his demeanor and approach towards creativity. It’s not every day you see a South African tech tycoon pawing through an Icelandic talk show sketch!

Actress Chloe Fineman shares that Elon Musk, the man behind SpaceX, left her in tears during his hosting stint on “Saturday Night Live” in 2021.

Fineman admitted, during a TikTok video that has since been removed, about collaborating with a tech billionaire. This was several months after Yang, another cast member on the show, hinted at backstage conflicts during an interview on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live!”. In August, Yang vaguely mentioned a host who made several staff members cry because he disliked their ideas. There has been much speculation about this incident, and Fineman confirmed her involvement in it this Monday.

After facing criticism from Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk over an impression of him on “SNL”, the star of the show finally responded, addressing Musk’s apparent displeasure with Dana Carvey’s portrayal of him during last weekend’s post-election episode. (Carvey reappeared on Studio 8H as a lively, fist-pumping depiction of Musk, boasting about his MAGA ideology and claiming he would take over the presidency following Trump’s re-election. Fineman suggested that despite Musk’s harsh words on Twitter, the billionaire and Trump supporter might secretly be tuning in to the show.)

After much hesitation, I must confess that I was the one who shed tears during our interactions, and let me tell you, he was the one who moved another soul to tears as well. There might be more of us emotional souls among us.” (Said by a film enthusiast)

She said, “Can you believe it? Your response made Chloe Fineman tear up because she’d spent the entire night crafting this sketch. She was thrilled about it. When she came in to ask if you had any questions, it seemed like you were giving her a dismissal from Tesla and replied ‘It’s not funny.’

As a movie reviewer, let me share my take on a recent event: In a surprising turn of events, the talented actress who graced both “Megalopolis” and “Despicable Me 4” revealed her disappointment when Elon Musk refused to acknowledge his jest about scrutinizing her script. She went as far as accusing him, in a playful imitation of his South African accent, of not finding amusement in a particular sketch even once. Although she didn’t explicitly mention the sketch title, it was evident that both Musk and she starred together in “The Ooli Show” segment from the May 2021 episode, where they played an Icelandic talk-show host and her infatuated producer respectively, a role for which she received writing credit.

As a devoted fan, I’ll put it this way: I acknowledged that the sketch which graced the episode was decent enough, and truthfully, I enjoyed the process immensely. To add to that, I must confess, Elon Musk was downright hilarious in it!

“But, you know, have a little manners here, sir,” she concluded.

Despite Fineman removing the video, it got saved and reposted on X, where Musk responded to it on Monday, detailing his evaluation of the work.

To be honest, it wasn’t until Thursday before Saturday that any of the sketches drew laughter,” Musk admitted. “I was concerned that my SNL appearance would be incredibly unfunny, perhaps even enough to sober up a drug addict. Fortunately, everything turned out alright in the end.

Musk did not apologize or mention making any cast members cry.

On Tuesday, neither Fineman’s nor Saturday Night Live’s representatives provided an immediate response when contacted by The Times.

Before Fineman posted her TikTok, Musk ranted about the most recent episode on X.

In simpler terms, Musk tweeted something along the lines of “Dana Carvey truly embodies Dana Carvey,” in reaction to a video snippet. He also commented, using another tweet, that they (the people he’s referring to) are quite frustrated because Donald Trump won the election (@realDonaldTrump).

He additionally argued that the popular, Emmy-winning comedy series has been gradually losing its vitality over the years, as it seems to drift further away from reality. Musk, who is anticipated to hold significant influence in Trump’s incoming administration, also alleged that the show made a desperate attempt to circumvent equal airtime obligations when Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on the November 2 episode prior to the election. He stated that this move “only served to harm her campaign even more.
