Boss went off on me in a company group chat.

I won’t get into specifics since I’m trying to stay anonymous in every way possible. But long story short, I was simply updating my manager on information I obtained that he requested. I didn’t have a full list, but I wanted to be sure he knew I was on it and I was just giving a progress report. He proceeded to then (in the company group chat for everyone to see) say things like, “what did I ask you for? Can you read? I need you to pay attention to me” and after a while of not knowing how to respond he added, “so, what did you learn from this mistake?” Like I was going to have to explain the “lesson” I learned from my “mistake” in front of everyone. Is there anything I can do about this? It made me extremely uncomfortable.
