Elon Musk Slammed For Ultra-Creepy Reaction To Taylor Swift Endorsing Kamala Harris

The X owner has the internet creeped out after mocking the singer by telling her 'I'll give you a child and guard your cats with my life' after she endorsed Harris and branded herself a 'childless cat lady.'

As you may have heard, Taylor Swift finally endorsed Kamala Harris moments after the end of her first debate with Donald Trump—and Elon Musk couldn't help but be skin-crawlingly weird about it.

In her post endorsing Harris and running mate Tim Walz, Swift referenced one of Donald Trump's running mate JD Vance's most enduring gaffes in which he derided Democratic women as "childless cat ladies."


Swift jokingly signed her post: "With love and hope, Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady."


This quip prompted Musk to post a truly creepy tweet that attempted to degrade Swift with weird sexual rhetoric while also throwing red meat at his legion of slavering far-right fanboys.

Musk's tweet read:

"Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life."

The insinuation that having Musk's child is some kind of honor is weird and gross on its face, and to the uninitiated the tweet likely sounds like just garden variety misogyny.

But it's likely meant as a sort of dog-whistle, as Musk has become one of the poster boys of the far-right natalist movement obsessed with virility, reproduction and eugenics, and for whom degrading women is a badge of honor.

Musk is often held up as an icon in this culture precisely because he has at least 12 children by multiple women, as well as some rumored additional kids he allegedly does not acknowledge.

It's also worth noting that, until she began speaking out about politics, Swift was long held up as the ideal "Aryan goddess" on far-right message boards, Neo-Nazi websites and the like.

Even without all that background, though, the tweet is deeply off-putting, to say the least.

And on X, basically anyone NOT affiliated with Musk's weird far-right rhetoric found his Taylor Swift post downright creepy.








Stay classy, Elon.

Pete Hegseth Sparks Outrage After Threatening To Court-Martial Mark Kelly Over 'Unlawful Order' Video

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has sparked outrage after the Pentagon announced it's investigating Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly—a former U.S. Navy captain and astronaut—for "serious allegations of misconduct" after he joined five other members of Congress in a video reminding military members that they took an oath to obey the Constitution and can disobey illegal orders.

In a video message, Kelly, joined by a group of fellow veterans in Congress that included his colleagues Sen. Elissa Slotkin (Michigan) and Rep. Jason Crow (Pennsylvania), noted that the Trump administration is "pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens."
