Well, the internet is up for a treat with a feud that’s risen between Taylor Swift and Elon Musk. Both individuals are widely considered two of the most influential public figures right now. With the US Presidential debates currently underway, both of them have been actively spreading awareness on what the country needs to do while choosing its next leader. Interestingly, Kamala Harris seemed to have had the upper hand over former president Donald Trump.
While the country takes its time to choose between Harris and Trump, Swift has been attempting to steer the ship toward the current US Vice President. But Musk couldn’t keep himself from taking a dig at the superstar. And this all might just become bigger than the Amber Heard controversy.
Elon Musk ignites the masses with a sketchy comment on Taylor Swift
We are all aware of Elon Musk’s online trolling tendencies. And as the CEO of the world-renowned social media platform, X (formerly known as Twitter), the 53-year-old has the liberty to do and say anything he likes.
Shortly after the highly anticipated debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, the Tesla Motors ringleader said,
Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.
This was a blatant nod at Taylor Swift’s recent comments on the presidential debate and what she referred to herself as following her lengthy speech.
However, several Swifties were triggered by Musk’s outlandish comment. Here are a couple of reactions from her fans:
stay away from her

taylor doesn’t know you lil bro 😭

That feels like a threat.

Taylor Swift’s fans are a serious group of supporters that stand as a barrier of guards before anybody takes a jab directly at her. This is the amount of influence she has had on her fanbase lately.
Now the reason why Amber Heard was mentioned earlier was because Musk has a dark past with the Hollywood icon. According to ENews, Musk and Heard dated for a little over a year before calling it quits. The tech mogul described their relationship as 18 months of unrelenting insanity.
Despite their troublesome past, Musk and Heard still remain friends. Heard, who most recently went through a grueling lawsuit against her ex-husband Johnny Depp, claims she still cares about Musk regardless of their history.
What did Taylor Swift say regarding the Donald Trump vs Kamala Harris debate?
Shortly after the debate, Taylor Swift dished out a massive message in a post on her Instagram account. At first, she encouraged her fans to carefully research various policies that were highlighted during the debate.
Then she addressed her stance on Trump claiming that an AI version of herself was posted on his site “falsely endorsing” him in the mix. Swift further added,
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.
Taylor Swift also acknowledged Harris’ running mate, Tim Walz, as a strong candidate for vice president. Walz has been an advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and women’s rights for several years.
The artist hilariously signed off as “Childless Cat Lady”, which was a jibe at what JD Vance (Trump’s running mate) said while commenting on women without children. This was precisely what Elon Musk had referred to in his comments.
