Chloe Fineman, a cast member of 'Saturday Night Live', has revealed that Elon Musk made her cry during his hosting of the show in May 2021. In a now-deleted TikTok video, Fineman claimed that Musk dismissed a sketch she had written, telling her it was 'not funny,' which led her to 'burst into tears.' She stated, 'You made I, Chloe Fineman, burst into tears because I stayed up late writing a sketch. You stared at me like you were firing me from Tesla.' Fineman added that other cast members were also affected by Musk's demeanor. Musk responded to her claims on social media, saying he was worried his SNL appearance would 'be so unfunny it'll make a crackhead sober.' He noted that the sketches did not generate laughs until shortly before the live show.
