Fineman alleged that when Musk visitor hosted the present again in 2021, he made a number of members of the ensemble cry. Now, the Tesla head honcho has issued a response to the actress’ accusation.
Months in the past, forged member Bowen Yang recalled a visitor host bringing forged members to tears earlier than a desk learn as a result of “he hated the concepts.” Yang later offered additional context however once more, wouldn’t say who the individual was. Effectively, in a since-deleted TikTok video, which was captured by Chris Gardner of THR on X, Chloe Fineman claimed that the host in query was Elon Musk. The comic’s video started together with her discussing Musk’s disdain for the aforementioned impression, earlier than she shared her model of the occasions:
Guess what? You made I, Chloe Fineman, burst into tears as a result of I stayed up late writing a sketch. I used to be so excited, I got here in, I requested for those who had any questions and also you stared at me such as you have been firing me from Tesla and have been like, ‘It’s not humorous.’ I waited so that you can be like, ‘Haha jk.’ Then you definitely began pawing by means of my script, like flipping every web page, being like, ‘I didn’t chortle at this. I didn’t chortle as soon as, not one time.’
Per the actress, the sketch finally made it to air, and that she “had a extremely good time” engaged on it and thought the businessman was “actually humorous in it.” Someday after the put up was taken down, Elon Musk posted his response to X. Whereas he admitted that “It labored out in the long run,” it might appear he did have reservations early on:
Frankly, it was solely on the Thursday earlier than the Saturday that ANY of the sketches generated laughs. I used to be frightened. I used to be like rattling my SNL look goes to be so fucking unfunny that it’ll make a crackhead sober!! However then it labored out in the long run 😮💨

The installment noticed Musk gown up as Wario, play a cowboy and extra.
This all successfully places an finish to the thriller revolving across the visitor host who reportedly made among the present’s actors cry. Contemplating that Chloe Fineman deleted her video, it’s onerous to say whether or not she would possibly converse on the matter additional. In any case, it appeared that Elon Musk needed to make his place on the topic clear as nicely.
