Elon Musk Slammed for Creepy Taylor Swift Comment
Elon Musk is facing backlash once again—this time for a bizarre comment he made about Taylor Swift.
Swift’s Political Endorsement Sparks Controversy
Swift recently endorsed Kamala Harris for the 2024 U.S. presidential election, a move that didn’t sit well with Musk. However, rather than engaging in a political debate, he responded in a way many found unsettling.
Musk’s History of Controversial Tweets
Musk is no stranger to stirring controversy on social media. Over the years, he has developed a reputation for eccentric and inflammatory posts, often drawing criticism for his erratic online behavior.
His political stance has also been a hot topic. As a vocal supporter of Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance, Musk has used his platform—X (formerly Twitter)—to promote his views, even as the platform faces scrutiny for its evolving content policies.
Swift’s Political Influence Grows
Unlike Musk, Swift has been increasingly vocal about her political views. After years of staying silent, she first broke her apolitical image in 2018 by endorsing Democratic candidates in Tennessee. Since then, she has used her massive influence to support causes such as LGBTQ+ rights and women’s reproductive rights.
Her endorsement of Harris and Tim Walz was no surprise to her fans. In her post, she wrote:
“I think [Harris] is a steady-handed, gifted leader, and I believe we can accomplish so much more if led by calm and not chaos.”
Swift’s influence is undeniable—her voter registration efforts have set records, with Vote.org seeing a 13,000-user surge following just one of her posts in 2023.
Musk’s Bizarre Comment Sparks Outrage
Following Swift’s endorsement, Musk responded with a tweet that quickly went viral:
“Fine Taylor… you win… I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.”
Yes, you read that correctly. Musk, already a father of 12, made a cryptic offer to Swift, referencing her pet cat Benjamin Button.
Internet Reacts: “Creepy” and “Unsettling”
Musk’s tweet was met with immediate backlash. Many found it inappropriate, with one user calling it “peak weirdo and creeper behavior.” Another bluntly stated, “No self-respecting woman would agree to this, and I am certain Taylor Swift is a woman.”
The criticism only grew. One commenter joked, “Cringe just called and asked you to stop, Leon,” referencing Trump’s recent misnaming of Musk at a rally. Others questioned whether Musk’s comment was some kind of “alpha male dominance thing.”
Musk’s Online Legacy: A Turning Point?
While Musk may have intended the tweet as a joke, it clearly didn’t land well. Many see it as another example of his increasingly bizarre social media behavior.
Swift, on the other hand, continues to solidify her influence beyond music, proving she is a force in both entertainment and politics.
Will this latest controversy change anything for Musk, or is it just another chapter in his unpredictable online saga? Only time will tell.
