Taylor Swift’s recent endorsement of Kamala Harris has led to an unexpected controversy involving Elon Musk. The Tesla founder sparked outrage with a bizarre response to Swift’s social media post, which criticized Trump’s VP pick and humorously described herself as a “childless cat lady.”
In reaction to Swift’s endorsement, Musk tweeted, “Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.” The remark quickly drew criticism for its misogynistic undertones, prompting rapper Azealia Banks to suggest that Swift should consider legal action.
According to Daily Mail, Banks took to social media to express her outrage, declaring, “Nah this is actual sexual harassment. Taylor should flex on his ass and sue him for loads of cash n level up to be the most undefeatable richest woman in the history of music. Take his fucking money taylorrrrrrr!!!!” She continued her tirade with two follow-up tweets, speculating that Kanye West, Swift’s high-profile rival, would have a “heart attack” if Swift managed to take down Musk.
Despite the uproar, Swift has yet to publicly address Musk’s tweet, and there are no indications that she plans to pursue legal action against him.
Musk’s comment also shocked many of his own supporters. Journalist Ian Miles Cheong responded with a stunned, “My God,” while Musk’s estranged daughter, Vivian Wilson, criticized her father’s remark as “heinous incel nonsense” in a post on Threads.
The controversy highlights ongoing tensions in the celebrity and political spheres, illustrating how seemingly offhand comments can ignite widespread backlash.
