Chloe Fineman has confirmed that Elon Musk was the mystery Saturday Night Live host who made her 'burst into tears' when he appeared on the show in May 2021.
Rumors about a nightmare SNL guest emcee first spread when Bowen Yang told Andy Cohen about his 'worst' experience- without spilling all the details.
On Monday, Fineman outed Musk as the mystery host after the Tesla CEO went ballistic over Dana Carvey's impression of him on the post-election show.
'OK, I just saw some news article about Elon Musk being like butthurt over SNL and his impression,' she said in a TikTok.
'And I'm like, you know what? I'm gonna come out and say at long last that I'm the cast member that he made cry. And he's the host that made someone cry.'

Fineman, who has been in the cast since 2019, outed Musk as the host who had her in tears after seeing the Tesla CEO and one of Donald Trump 's key advisors complain about Dana Carvey's impression of him on this past week's show
Fineman said that Musk had been brutally critical of her work during a late night writing session.
'You made I, Chloe Fineman bust into tears because I stayed up late writing a sketch, 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.'''
The sketch in question appears to be The Ooli Show, where Musk plays a producer interrupting an Icelandic talk show.
She said that Musk 'started pawing through my script-like flipping each page, [and] being, like, "I didn't laugh once, not one time."'
The Megalopolis star noted that the sketch turned out for the best and she thought Musk was good in it but had to chime in after the 'chief twit' complaining about Carvey's impression.
She said: 'The sketch made it on, and it was fine, and I actually had a really good time and I thought you were really funny in it. But, you know. Have a little manners here, sir!'
Musk was critical of Saturday Night Live's portrayal of him in the NBC staple's first episode since Donald Trump's election victory.
The Tesla & X CEO, 53, fired off a series of tweets on his platform X/Twitter Sunday in response to the segment in which Carvey mimicked the physical gestures Musk made while on the campaign trail with Trump.

'SNL has been dying slowly for years, as they become increasingly out of touch with reality,' said the Pretoria, South Africa-born magnate, who hosted the show's May 8, 2021 episode.
He added: 'Their last-ditch effort to cheat the equal airtime requirements and prop up Kamala before the election only helped sink her campaign further.'
In the opening segment, Carvey, a cast member on the series from 1986-1993, was clad in an all-black ensemble similar to one Musk has been seen in as of late.
Carvey said while imitating Musk, 'Check it out - dark MAGA - but seriously, I run the country now.
'America's gonna be like one of my rockets: You know, they're super cool and super fun, but there's a slight chance it could blow up and everybody dies.
The SpaceX CEO said of the comic's performance: 'Dana Carvey just sounds like Dana Carvey.'
Musk added of SNL: 'They are so mad that @realDonaldTrump won,' and also agreed with a user's suggestion that the show's opening clip had a larger platform via his social media site as opposed to NBC's broadcast and streaming services.
The eccentric billionaire appeared on Saturday Night Live a few years back, poking fun at his own eccentricities and appearing to reveal that he has 'Asperger's' in his opening monologue, and sending the price of his favored cryptocurrency Dogecoin plunging after joking that he would buy some for his mom for Mother's Day.

As the hotly anticipated episode aired, many users complained that streaming options on the NBC app were crashing, presumably due to high user volume.
Notably, SNL cast member Aidy Bryant did not appear in any sketches alongside Musk, after appearing to take a dig over his fortune in an Instagram story. After appearing in the Mother's Day cold open, which did not feature Musk, Bryant did not appear in the rest of the show.
In his monologue, Musk himself did not mention the joke cryptocurrency Dogecoin by name, sending the price of the volatile asset plunging dramatically as he spoke.
His mother Maye, who made a guest appearance for Mother's Day, did say she hoped that his gift would not be Dogecoin, to which he replied: 'It is!'
'I'm actually making history tonight as the first person with Asperger's to host SNL. Or at least the first to admit it. So I won't make a lot of eye contact with the cast tonight,' Musk said in his monologue.
