Chloe Fineman, a cast member of 'Saturday Night Live' (SNL), claimed that Elon Musk made her cry when he hosted the show in May 2021. In a now-deleted TikTok video, Fineman stated that Musk dismissed a sketch she had written as 'not funny,' leading her to 'burst into tears.' She revealed that his demeanor made her feel as if he was 'firing me from Tesla.' Her disclosure came after Musk's recent criticism of SNL following Dana Carvey's impersonation of him. Fineman also referred to fellow cast member Bowen Yang's past comments about a host making cast members cry during rehearsals. Musk responded to the allegations by acknowledging he was worried his episode would be unfunny.
