Chloe Fineman has put Elon Musk on blast — saying he made her “burst into tears” when he hosted “Saturday Night Live” in Might 2021.
The comic, 36, took purpose on the Tesla founder, 53, following his scathing feedback concerning the iconic present being a “dying” artwork.
“I just saw some news article about Elon Musk being butt hurt about ‘SNL’ and his impression,” Fineman mentioned in a now-deleted TikTok video shared Monday. “But I’m like, ‘You’re clearly watching the show. Like, what are you talking about?’”
Fineman then went on to name out the SpaceX CEO, saying he was the nameless superstar host that her co-star Bowen Yang beforehand accused of constructing “multiple cast members cry” as a result of “he hated the ideas.”
“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,” she went on.
“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.”
Admitting she was “so excited” to point out him the sketch she had been engaged on, Musk “stared” at her in return.
“I asked if you had 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, ‘Ha ha, joke.’ No. Then you started pawing through my script, like flipping each page, being, like, ‘I didn’t laugh once, not one time,’” she recalled.
Fineman’s sketch in the end made it to the present, and Fineman even praised Musk’s “funny” efficiency in it.
“But, you know, have a little manners here, sir,” she added.
It comes simply days after the X proprietor slammed Dana Carvey following the comic’s impression of him on “SNL.”
Throughout the opening skit, the forged members cheekily confirmed allegiance to President-elect Donald Trump following his historic victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.
Carvey — who beforehand performed President Joe Biden — made an sudden look as Musk, who backed Trump, 78, within the race.
“SNL has been dying slowly for years, as they become increasingly out of touch with reality,” Musk wrote on X in response to the sketch.
“Their last-ditch effort to cheat the equal airtime requirements and prop up Kamala before the election only helped sink her campaign further,” the billionaire added, referring to the FCC commissioner blasting Harris, 60, for allegedly breaking the Equal Time rule after her look on the present final week.
