Chloe Fineman, a comedian on "Saturday Night Live," said that Elon Musk made her cry when he hosted the show in 2021.

In a since-deleted TikTok posted on Monday, Fineman said that she'd stayed quiet for three years, but Musk's "rude" response to the post-election episode of "SNL" prompted her to come forward about her experience of working with him.

During the post-election show, which aired on Saturday, comedian Dana Carvey did an impression of Musk.

Referring to the Musk's support for Donald Trump, he joked: "Seriously, I run the country now. America's gonna be like one of my rockets, you know, that's super cool and super fun but there's a slight chance it could blow up and everybody dies!"

On Sunday, Musk reacted to the clip on X, writing: "SNL has been dying slowly for years, as they become increasingly out of touch with reality."

In August, Bowen Yang told "Watch What Happens Live" that a guest host made "Saturday Night Live" members cry during a pitch meeting

He said: "This man who… This person, this host made multiple cast members cry on Wednesday during the, before the table-read, because he hated the ideas."

On Monday, Fineman said in the TikTok: "I'm gonna come out and say that I'm the cast member that he made cry. He's the host that made someone cry. I saw some articles and stuff and I was like, 'I'm not gonna say anything.' But I'm like, 'No.' If you're gonna go on your platform and be rude, like, guess what? You made I, Chloe Fineman, burst into tears because I stayed up all night writing the sketch.

She added: "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.' I waited for you to be like, 'Ha ha, jk.' No. Then you started pawing through my script, like flipping each page, being, like, 'I didn't laugh once, not one time.'"

According to Fineman, the sketch stayed in the episode. She said: "I thought you were really funny in it. But, you know, have a little manners here, sir."

Fineman didn't clarify which sketch she was referring to, but she is credited as a writer on "The Ooli Show," in which Musk plays the producer of a chatshow hosted by Fineman's character.

Representatives for Musk and Fineman did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.
