Elon Musks responds to claims he made Chloe Fineman and Saturday Night Live cast cry
Elon Musk has responded to claims he made Saturday Night Live cast members cry when he hosted the show back in May 2021.
In a now-deleted TikTok posted on Monday, cast member Chloe Fineman shared that Musk had made her cry with his response to her sketches.
However, it seems the SpaceX founder isn’t sweating too much over the news, responding to Fineman’s TikTok with a post on X (formerly Twitter).
“Frankly, it was only on the Thursday before the Saturday that ANY of the sketches generated laughs. I was worried,” he wrote.

“I was like damn my SNL appearance is going to be so f—ing unfunny that it will make a crackhead sober!! But then it worked out in the end.”
He included a link to his appearance at the September All-In Summit, where he went into more detail about his appearance on SNL, describing the first pitch meeting as “rough.”
The Tesla CEO also explained his idea for an R-rated sketch that left producers “aghast” and was quickly shut down.

It involved him offering to “take my c— out” during his opening monologue to prove that the show was indeed live.
A few months ago, SNL cast member Bowen Yang first revealed a former host had made cast members cry because he “hated” their ideas, whom Fineman confirmed on Monday was Musk.
According to Entertainment Weekly, she shared that he made her “burst into tears” after she’d “stayed up all night” working on sketches for his appearance.

“I was so excited, I came in, 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’,” Fineman said, addressing Musk in her video.
She said he then began “pawing through my script saying, ‘I didn’t laugh. I didn’t laugh one time.”
”Have a little manners here, sir,” Fineman added.
