BREAKING : Taylor Swift has caused a social media storm after criticizing Elon Musk, telling him straight to his face: You’re like… See more
Men have gotten away with predatory behavior for far too long — and people are sick of it. Everyone is slamming the latest disgusting comment from billionaire Elon Musk, after he told Taylor Swift he would “give” her a child. It’s giving “creepy,” “rapey,” and “f–king weird,” according to commenters, and we couldn’t agree more.
First, let me give you some context. Vice President Kamala Harris had a fantastic night on Tuesday, after a fiery presidential debate with former President Donald Trump and receiving the endorsement of the “Cruel Summer” singer. ICYMI, Swift shared a photo of herself (and her cat!) on Instagram minutes after the debate ended. She wrote in part, “I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.”
“I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos,” she continued. “I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.” She signed off, “With love and hope, Taylor Swift Childless Cat Lady,” a reference to Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance’s previous unhinged ranting about “childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives.”
The post, which now has over 8.3 million likes, apparently did not sit well with Musk, a vocal supporter of Trump who recently claimed that his transgender child was “killed by the woke-mind virus.” Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) to make his creepy comment on Swift.
“Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life,” he wrote on Tuesday night. Sure, maybe you could read this is a lighthearted joke. Or you could see it as him threatening to impregnate her because he doesn’t like her endorsement (it wouldn’t be the first time men have used rape as a form of dominance and control).
