“Saturday Night Live” star Chloe Fineman is speaking out against Elon Musk again.

Mr. Feynman, who is Jewish, said, “I remember when I got in trouble for yelling the Nazi salute,” referring to a moment during this week’s inauguration when Mr. Musk appeared to give a Nazi salute. Really? Oh, I have no regrets.”

“Chloe Fineman, you made me cry, because I was writing sketches all night, I was so excited, I came over to the house and said, do you have any questions? And you looked at me like you were going to fire me from Tesla and I was like, ‘That’s not funny,'” she told Musk.
“I was waiting for you to be like, ‘Haha, JK.’ No,” she continued, “and then you start reading my script, turn each page, and say, ‘I never laughed. “
Musk later defended his reaction to Feynman’s sketch on his platform X, but countered that he could not confirm that Feynman had made her cry. he didn’t apologize. Since then, Musk, like Trump, has become a frequent critic of the show, saying on social media that it was “so woke.”
Feynman wasn’t the only one to balk at Musk’s gesture of raising his arms diagonally in the air from his chest. The move sparked outrage online, with the Anti-Defamation League ultimately calling it an “awkward gesture” and suggesting it may not be an homage to the “Sieg Heils” salute used in Hitler’s Germany. This led to a study suggesting that the price was high.
Musk himself downplayed the accusation, choosing to respond with puns like, “His pronouns would have been he/Himmler!” In a post on X Thursday.
