Billionaire Elon Musk turned stomachs on the social media platform he owns by offering to impregnate Taylor Swift after the pop star endorsed Kamala Harris for president.
“Fine Taylor … you win,” Musk wrote on X Wednesday. “I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.”
It’d long been expected that the hugely influential musician would voice support for the Democratic nominee for president. The “Shake it Off” singer finally did just that following Tuesday’s presidential debate in which Republican candidate Donald Trump, 78, parroted a racist conspiracy theory about immigrants eating people’s pets.
Swift signed her Instagram endorsement for Harris “Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady.”
That’s a term Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, has used to insult Democratic leaders including Harris, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
Swift, 34, is months away from completing the most lucrative music tour in history and is in a long-term relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Musk gave his full-throated endorsement of Trump in July and has since worked to support the GOP nominee. If elected, Trump has indicated Musk would have a role in his administration.
The response to Musk’s comment was swift. One X user who appears to be a Republican who doesn’t care for Trump simply called Musk “creepy and weird.”
Some social media users posted images of Musk and Kelce to indicate Swift is doing fine in the dating department.
“So this is what ick looks like,” wrote another X user bothered by Musk’s comment.
“Cats politely but firmly decline your offer,” wrote British X user Larry the Cat, who has nearly a million followers. “Now stop being weird and offering your children to people.”
Musk has fathered at least 12 children.
