Many people expressed outrage, criticizing billionaire Elon Musk for ‘disrespecting women’ when he mocked Taylor Swift on X.
On September 11, singer Taylor Swift announced her support for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris after the debate with Republican candidate Donald Trump on her personal page.
The beauty born in 1989 posted a photo of herself holding her pet cat and signed it: “Childless cat lady” (a slang term in the US used to mock older women who have no children, only like to live with cats and have moody temperaments). Taylor Swift’s action is believed to be aimed at mocking the controversial statement of 2021 Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance, saying that “childless cat ladies” make the country miserable.

Hours later, billionaire Elon Musk – a supporter of former President Donald Trump – responded to the blonde singer’s post. The Tesla boss wrote on his X account: “Okay Taylor. You win. I will give you a child and protect your cats with my life.”
The Independent reported that the tech mogul’s remarks sparked outrage on social media, with many criticizing billionaire Elon Musk for disrespecting women. One account said Elon’s response was “the height of weirdness and creepy behavior.” Someone commented that Elon Musk’s message “will give Taylor Swift a child” was sexual harassment, according to Variety .
“I’m sorry but the richest man on the planet telling a woman he’s not dating that he’s going to have a baby is creepy!”, scientist Armand Domalewski wrote on X. Another person wrote: “Elon has been trying to get Taylor Swift’s attention for years and as far as I know she’s never publicly acknowledged his existence.”
