Chloe Fineman had some choice words for Elon Musk this week.

After the Tesla CEO tore into Dana Carvey‘s impression of him from Saturday Night Live‘s Nov. 10 cold open, Fineman shared a TikTok on Monday — which has since been deleted, but was reposted online — in which she shared that she “just saw some news article” about the Tesla CEO being “butthurt” about the impression, per the New York Post.

“But I’m like, you’re clearly watching the show,” she continued. “Like, what are you talking about?”

Fineman also revealed herself to be “the cast member that he made cry and he’s the host that made someone cry” during his hosting turn in May 2021.

“Maybe there’s others, but 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 explained. “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.'”

This arrives after Bowen Yang claimed that one SNL host “made multiple cast members cry on Wednesday before the table read because he hated the ideas” on Watch What Happens Live in August.

While Fineman recalled that she “waited” for Musk to let up and say he was kidding, she said he “started pawing through [her] script” and taunted that he “didn’t laugh, not one time.”

“Cut to the sketch made it on and it was like fine, and I actually had a really good time and I thought you were really funny in it,” she confessed. “But, you know, have a little manners here, sir.”

Per USA Today, Musk addressed Fineman’s post on X early on Tuesday.

“Frankly, it was only on the Thursday before the Saturday that ANY of the sketches generated laughs,” he wrote. “I was worried. I was like damn my SNL appearance is going to be so fucking unfunny that it will make a crackhead sober!! But then it worked out in the end.”

Musk’s support for Donald Trump, which was teased in Saturday’s SNL cold open, was also mocked by Jimmy Kimmel this week, as the late night host deemed the two a “cute couple.”

Saturday Night Live airs Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
