In a surprising turn of events, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has stirred social media into a frenzy with a bizarre offer to pop star Taylor Swift: to have a baby together. The unusual proposal came in response to Swift’s recent endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris, which sparked a wave of reactions across various platforms.
“Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life,” Elon Musk, 53, posted on X to his 197 million followers in what was likely a crack about Swift, 34, signing her lengthy instagram post “childless cat lady.”
The response to Musk’s comment was swift: So this is what ick looks like,” wrote an X user bothered by Musk’s comment.
“Taylor wants precisely zero to do with you,” another added, with another netizen asking, “You really think you are an Alpha, don’t you?”
Swift endorsed Harris on Instagram late Tuesday, just after the Democratic vice presidential candidate’s debate with former President Donald Trump on ABC: ‘I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election.
‘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.’
She accompanied the post with a picture of her calico cat Benjamin Button and signed it off ‘Taylor Swift, childless cat lady.’
Elon Musk has fathered “12 known children” and is in a custody battle with his ex Grimes over three of them. Musk has raised concerns about “population collapse” in Western countries and in 2022 tweeted jokingly about “doing my part haha” to repopulate the Earth.
