In a recent twist on the ever-evolving social media landscape, Tesla’s visionary CEO Elon Musk took to X, the platform he owns, to weigh in on the latest US Elections’ political endorsement. The buzz began when singing sensation Taylor Swift threw her support behind Democratic nominee Kamala Harris for President. Musk, never one to shy away from stirring the pot, seized the moment to respond. He referenced Swift’s playful self-description as a “Childless Cat Lady,” a term that has been notably used by US Senator JD Vance, Trump’s vice presidential pick, to belittle women without children.
Swift had earlier declared her support for Kamala Harris in a heartfelt Instagram post, emphasizing that Harris represents the “warrior” needed to champion the rights and causes she holds dear. She praised Harris as a “steady-handed, gifted leader” and expressed confidence that the country could achieve greater progress under her calm leadership rather than through chaos. The singer also lauded Harris’s choice of running mate, Tim Walz, highlighting his long-standing advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF access, and women’s autonomy. Concluding her post with a touch of humor and personal flair, she signed off as “Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady.”
Musk responded to this post saying, “”Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.”
Swift had previously kept her choice of candidate for the upcoming November election under wraps. However, in another recent Instagram post, she voiced strong criticism of the Trump campaign for utilizing AI-generated images to falsely promote the former president. She expressed her growing concerns about AI and the dangers of misinformation, stating that it compelled her to be open about her voting intentions. Meanwhile, the race for the White House heated up on Tuesday as Kamala Harris and Donald Trump engaged in a contentious debate covering key issues such as the economy, immigration, and the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine.
