SNL star says she 'had a vibe' with Elon Musk despite him making her cry
Musk has been at the centre of backlash after being accused of giving a Nazi salute during the inauguration party, celebrating new president, Donald Trump. Last November, Fineman, 36, alleged that the Tesla owner, who hosted the show in May 2021, brought her to tears after telling her that her script wasn't funny.
'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, joke.' No. Then you started pawing through my script, like flipping each page, being, like, 'I didn't laugh once, not one time,'' she shared in a since-deleted TikTok video.
Fineman said she ended up having a 'really good time' performing the sketch, adding: 'I thought you were really funny in it. But, you know, have a little manners here, sir.'
Now, she has revealed that even though things took a turn for the worse, she felt that the pair had gotten on.
"We really got along," Fineman told Andy Cohen on WWHL. "I kinda thought we had a vibe. After he made me cry. It was sort of like — we went on quite a journey."
She continued: "He made me cry, I was like, 'F*** you!' And then it got picked, the sketch got picked, we did the sketch and we got along.'
Fineman said she grasped for similarities with the controversial tycoon as she noted they both have links to the Bay Area of California.
"We have nothing in common because he goes to Mars or whatever,' she said. "In my head, I was like, 'I get this guy!'"
The comedian expressed regret over her video as she said: "I shouldn't just make videos on my phone because the problem is I want to be able to talk s***, but then it gets picked up.'
She said of Musk's response: "But then he was like, 'It is true, in fact. It was funny.' That's my Elon. 'It was funny.' Because I think his brain didn't know that when you read something — he pawed through [the script] and was like, 'I didn't laugh once. Not once.' But then when you perform it, it's funny. Sir."
Musk admitted he didn't find Fineman's script funny as he posted on X/Twitter at the time: 'I was like damn my SNL appearance is going to be so f***ing unfunny that it will make a crackhead sober. But then it worked out in the end.'

My husband's only 5ft but don't let Tinder's new height filter keep you from great sex- my short king is dynamite in bed
Scroll down to find out which celebrity women are taller than their boyfriends SHORT & SWEET My husband's only 5ft but don't let Tinder's new height filter keep you from great sex- my short king is dynamite in bed Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A woman who is six inches taller than her husband has slammed Tinder's new height filter feature, claiming that his small stature doesn't stop her man from being a freak in the sheets. At 5ft 7in, Jesika Kamp is considerably taller than her partner, Hunter, and she recalls feeling 'shocked' by his stature when they first met, after connecting online. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Jesika is six inches taller than her husband Credit: Jam Press/@jesikaandhunter 5 Jesika slammed Tinder's new height feature Credit: Jam Press/@jesikaandhunter 5 Jesika says she and Hunter have the "best sex ever" Credit: Jam Press/@jesikaandhunter But the two have gone from strength to strength, and 33-year-old Jesika even says they have the 'best sex ever' – aided, in part, by his shorter size. With Tinder recently announcing a new filter in which users can block potential matches if they aren't a favourable height, the couple have spoken out about their own experience. 'It's ingrained in our brains that men need to be taller, but there's no actual reason for that,' Jesika, who works in marketing, said. 'I understand that people have preferences, but it feels odd [to have a height filter]. Read more real life stories TALL TALES Everyone thinks my husband is my child because he's so tiny 'As someone that has dated a few people shorter than me, height never mattered. 'I would have missed out on some pretty great experiences if I prioritised height! 'I know it can feel tough feeling like you have to explain someone to your friends and family – I've been there. 'I felt like I had to warn people so they weren't caught off guard but after a while, I was like 'Why the heck am I doing this when I love this person?' 'Now I openly speak about our height difference with pride.' Hunter, a dog trainer, was particularly unhappy to hear the news of the dating app's new system. Love Knows No Height He said: 'It makes me happy that I'm married and sad for the guys out there, still trying to date. 'Most women will have their height filter set to 6ft+ – leaving the majority of men cast aside, much less someone like myself who's in the lowest percentile for height.' The Arizona, US-based couple met online themselves, connecting on TikTok rather than a dating app, and Jesika didn't know about Hunter's height until a couple of weeks of talking. When they did meet, she was 'a little shocked', but soon found that it didn't matter – though other people were quick to comment. Jesika said: 'I've had friends and other people ask me why I'm with someone so much shorter than me. Celebrity Woman Taller Than Their Partners Zendaya 5'10" - Tom Holland 5'8" Cameron Diaz 5'9" - Benji Madden 5'6" Eniko parrish 5'7" - Kevin Hart 5'4" Gwendoline Christie 6'3" - Giles Deacon 6' Tina Fey 5'5" - Jeff Richmond 5'2" 'We've gotten comments asking if he's my son or 'if I need a real man'.' But when it comes to the bedroom, they say there is never an issue. She added: 'Aren't we all the same lying down? "In fact, some positions are a lot easier with Hunter being short. "Honestly, it's probably the best sex I've ever had.' The couple, who married in 2022, have had to face comments about their visible height difference since they first got together – but say it shouldn't deter anyone from giving taller or shorter people a chance. Jesika said: 'There's nothing wrong with preference, but I do think it [favouring taller men] stems from past generations. 'Like how women are taught that they should get married to a man with a good job, be a stay-at-home mother, cook, clean, and take care of the children. 'Times have changed, but some things seem to be deep rooted. 'I do have plenty of friends that refuse to date a man shorter than them, and that's fine. 'I'd love to see a dating show or something where height is blind. 'Where people build connections and realise that it truly doesn't matter. Honestly, it's probably the best sex I've ever had Jesika Kamp 'If I was on dating apps now, I wouldn't use the height filter. 'It's already hard to find your person these days – and the ones that are perfect for you might surprise you. '[You should] do what makes you happy. 'Don't let society or social media talk you out of being with your potential person because of social standards. 'Nothing someone else said could change how I feel about my relationship and the person I chose.' 5 The couple got married in 2022 Credit: Jam Press/@jesikaandhunter/@zofiasellsphotograpy
