Comedian Chloe Fineman on Elon Musk "SNL" Hosting Gig: "He Made Me Cry"

Chloe Fineman Claims Elon Musk Made Her Cry During 'SNL' Hosting Gig

Chloe Fineman, a cast member on Saturday Night Live, recently opened up about her experience working with Elon Musk when he hosted the show in May 2021.

Musk's Unpreparedness Led to Tension

Fineman revealed that Musk's lack of preparation for the hosting gig created a tense atmosphere on set. "He was not prepared at all," she said. "He didn't read the cue cards, he didn't know his lines, and he was just kind of winging it."

Fineman also expressed frustration with Musk's tendency to dominate the creative process. "He would just start talking over people and changing things on the fly," she said. "It was really hard to work with him."

Emotional Moment with Fineman

Despite the challenges, Fineman said that she had a surprisingly emotional moment with Musk during the show. "There was one sketch where I played his mother," she said. "And at the end of the sketch, he gave me a hug and said, 'Thank you for being my mother.'"

Fineman was moved by Musk's gesture, and she said that it helped her to see him in a new light. "I think he was just really nervous and overwhelmed," she said. "But I also think he's a good person."

Musk's Response to Fineman's Comments

Musk has not publicly responded to Fineman's comments. However, a source close to Musk told Page Six that he was "disappointed" to hear about her experience.

The source said that Musk is "a big fan of 'SNL' and he was excited to host the show. He put in a lot of time and effort to prepare, but he understands that it's not always easy to work with him."
