As if we didn’t love Elon Musk enough, now he is making actors cry.
Back in August, you may recall — but no one will blame you if you don’t — Saturday Night Live actor Bowen Yang (who?) claimed that a recent male host of SNL had made cast members cry because he told them that their skits weren’t funny.
We like the sound of this mystery guy already.
At the time, the story didn’t have much traction because … well, who cares if someone told the truth to whiny actors and they couldn’t take it? But since no names were given, it was pretty quickly forgotten.
Now, as they say, the story can be told. As the left continues to melt down over the presidential election, current SNL cast member Chloe Fineman (again, who?) revealed that the host in question was none other than Musk. And she was the cast member he made cry.
Elon Musk got SNL cast in tears? Can’t make this up. 😂 pic.twitter.com/OvWf3BGlE7

Oh, but it gets better. Fineman recorded a video of her confession and quickly deleted it from TikTok. But this is the Internet and the Internet is forever, so we got it. Watch:
Chloe Fineman deleted the video after it was up for a few hours. Luckily I saved it…in it she says Elon Musk did not like her sketch: “You made I, Chloe Fineman burst into tears because I stayed up late writing a sketch. I was so excited, I came in, I asked if you had any… https://t.co/y4BxNSab8j pic.twitter.com/p2RVHQMYuC

Hey, don’t feel bad, Chloe. You’re not the only one who is in tears right now. We are too … laughing at you.
Musk is correct. Nothing you or your show writes is funny. Cry about it.
Literally.
For context, this is the tweet from Musk that caused Fineman to blurt out her confession on TikTok:
SNL has been dying slowly for years, as they become increasingly out of touch with reality.
Their last-ditch effort to cheat the equal airtime requirements and prop up Kamala before the election only helped sink her campaign further. @nbcsnl

Nothing Musk said here is wrong. And as legendary as former SNL cast member Dana Carvey is, his impression of Musk was awful.
But it’s all good in the end because Musk made Fineman cry AGAIN. And that IS funny.
Just when I thought I couldn’t love @elonmusk any more than I already do, he goes and does something like this 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 https://t.co/q1wqXZZPzM

Hey, that’s what we said.
We already love him, no need to convince us to love him more.

Really? Chloe Fineman crying because Elon Musk told her privately that he didn’t think the sketch she’d written was funny? That is snowflake behavior. I’d be embarrassed to tell anyone publicly that I was a snowflake.

Please keep in mind that Fineman and the rest of these actors are not used to anyone disagreeing with them. They are less equipped to handle criticism than a 5-year-old.
Not coincidentally, that’s also why their show isn’t funny.
Chloe is terrible on the show lol
I love how she says “what I wrote was funny”
except it wasn’t…she’s not good at all😂🤣

If she was funny, we might have known who she was.

Delicious, salty tears.
Elon told woke SNL cast members the truth and I didn’t think I could love him more.

So unbelievably fragile 🤦♀️

People like Fineman need to be covered in bubble wrap and handled with care.
As rich as he is, Musk is all out of bubble wrap.
Would be bigger news if an SNL cast member made someone laugh

Now, that would make front-page headlines across the country.

Not if those problems are ‘someone criticized me and I can’t take it.’
Damn, he really is Superman. 🙌💯💪

We like the Tony Stark/Iron Man comparison better. But he definitely has the superpower to make leftists go completely unhinged.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.
If the SNL cast members shaved their heads in solidarity to oppose the Trump election, that would be some great comedy, albeit unintentionally so.
We might even tune in for that.
But more likely, we’d just check out a clip of it on Elon Musk’s Twitter.
