Elon Musk was just low-key confirmed as the worst ‘SNL’ host of all time after giving cast member the ‘Tesla firing’ treatment

Yang never mentioned any names, so this story was destined to remain just another show business tale, living forever in the embers of industry gossip. But recently, there was an unexpected update when Elon Musk, moonlighting as a comedy critic on his X , took issue with Dana Carvey’s impression of him. Musk’s main complaint was that Carvey sounded nothing like him. To Musk, this was further proof that SNL is biased, and that the cast were upset about Trump’s election victory.

This clearly lit a fire in Chloe Fineman’s belly, prompting her to do a classic post-and-delete on TikTok, confirming that she was actually one of the cast Elon Musk made cry when he hosted SNL in Season 46. Fineman said that Musk’s constant comments about what he thought should have happened on the show was a clear indication that he watches it—a show he’s called “unfunny” and “too woke.” So, logic would dictate: Why keep watching a show you claim not to enjoy?

Fineman’s of how Musk made her cry was that she wrote a sketch for the Tesla CEO, and Musk went page by page declaring each one “not funny.” The cruelty understandably got to Fineman, and she shed tears. Crying at work is not a proud moment, regardless of whether you were justified or not; it’s embarrassing to it. So props to Fineman for itting it, even if she eventually deleted the post.

Musk responded to the allegation — because of course he did. He took to X to guarantee that the crying, which happened on Wednesday of his hosting week, according to Fineman, actually bore fruit, because the good sketches were all written after Thursday. We’re still stuck, though, on Musk somehow anointing himself as the arbiter of funny. Honestly, can you think of one thing Elon Musk has ever said or done that you actually consider funny? Nothing comes up, right?

Okay, that one time he released a perfume called Burnt Hair was actually kind of funny. Musk’s name does sound like a brand of cheap perfume. We’ll give him that — he’s been funny once. But unless Chloe Fineman is secretly sneaking into the SpaceX offices to tell Elon how to assemble rockets, let’s all stick to what we’re good at. Elon Musk, please just leave Fineman and the rest of the SNL cast to figure out how to make us laugh.
