‘I Will Give You a Child’: Elon Musk Responds to Taylor Swift’s Political Post

Elon Musk, one of the most powerful individuals to ever walk this earth, is no match for Taylor Swift. His words.

As the presidential debate reached its conclusion Tuesday night, Sept. 10, Swift reached for her device and shared a 300-word missive on social media.

It was a manna from heaven for the Democrats, as Swift confirmed that she was throwing her support behind VP Kamala Harris in the race to the White House, and urged others to do their research, and vote.

“I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,” she wrote. “I’m voting for Kamala Harris 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 Tim Walz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.”

Swift didn’t waste the opportunity to land a blow on Donald Trump who, earlier, shared AI-generated images that appeared as though she was on the Trump train.

“Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation,” she explains.

“It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.”

The post was accompanied with a picture of Taylor cuddling her cat, Olivia Benson, and signed off as “Childless Cat Lady,” a jab at Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance and his professed views on Democrat voters.

Musk has a ticket on the Trump train. And, as social media was blowing up with TayTay’s unequivocal endorsement, he got a few words in.

“Fine Taylor,” Musk posted on X, the social platform he owns, “you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.”

Safeguarding cats is one thing, but promising to give “a child” to TayTay, 20 years his junior and dating NFL star Travis Kelce, is a bizarre take. Musk, who has a long-held ambition to populate Mars, has fathered 12 known children, and is currently engaged in a custody battle with former girlfriend Grimes over three of them.

Musk wasn’t done there. The South Africa-born billionaire entrepreneur is apparently positioning himself and Swift and king-makers in the forthcoming federal election. Replying to a tweet from an X user, he wrote: “Oh my God, this has really become an Elon vs Taylor Swift election now.”

Most political pundits and market researchers reckon the race is too tight to call. The endorsement of Swift, who can mobilize millions of Swifties through her social channels, has been welcomed by Walz, who described her post as “eloquent.”
