Chloe Fineman Reveals Elon Musk Made Her Cry During SNL Sketch Rejection


The mystery guest on Saturday Night Live who left cast member Chloe Fineman in tears has finally been revealed—Elon Musk. Back in August, SNL writer Bowen Yang hinted at an anonymous guest who had upset one of the show's cast members, but kept the details under wraps. This Monday, Fineman addressed the incident directly in a TikTok video, which has since been deleted, sharing how Musk's reaction during his 2021 appearance left her feeling crushed.

According to Chloe, she stayed up all night writing a sketch for Musk, excited to present it to him. But, when the tech billionaire read through the script, he didn’t laugh and dismissed the skit without a second thought. Fineman admitted the moment caused her to "burst into tears" and even urged Musk to “have a little manners.”

Chloe's confession came after Musk responded unfavorably to SNL veteran Dana Carvey's recent impression of him following the 2024 presidential election, where Musk notably supported Donald Trump in his victory over Kamala Harris. Although Fineman didn’t specify which sketch Musk rejected, she received credit for a scene titled “The Ooli Show” in the episode.
