Elon Musk received backlash for calling Taylor Swift a "creep" after she endorsed Kamala Harris over Donald Trump. Swift criticized misinformation regarding her political stance and urged her followers to vote. Musk's controversial comment sparked outrage among users, reigniting discussions about celebrities and politics in the digital age.
Elon Musk faced backlash after making a controversial comment directed at pop star Taylor Swift following her endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris. On September 10, after a heated debate between Harris and former President Donald Trump, Swift took to Instagram to clarify her stance. She addressed misinformation that suggested she supported Trump, expressing her concerns about AI-generated images promoting this false narrative.
In her post, Swift emphasized the importance of voting, urging her followers to engage in the electoral process regardless of their political leanings. She also made a pointed reference to comments from Trump’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance, who disparaged Democrats by labeling them as "childless cat ladies," humorously embracing the term in her way.
Musk, a known Trump supporter, responded to Swift's post on the social media platform X, making a questionable remark: “Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.” His comment ignited outrage among users, who labeled him a “creep” for the implication behind his words, particularly given his personal history involving multiple children from different relationships.
