Taylor Swift backs Harris; Elon Musk's shocking response startles fans
Just after the conclusion of the debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, Taylor Swift announced that she would cast her vote for the current Vice President of the United States. She signed the lengthy argument for her decision as a "childless cat lady." Elon Musk did not remain indifferent to her words, addressing the singer with an inappropriate offer.
Residents of the USA are currently preoccupied with the upcoming elections, which will determine the new head of state in November. Donald Trump will face off against Kamala Harris, who stepped in as a candidate after Joe Biden withdrew from the race for re-election. The campaign is in full swing and highly charged with emotions. There is no shortage of controversies widely echoed in the media worldwide.
The pre-election race in the USA has entered its decisive phase. There are only 55 days left until the election. On September 10 in Philadelphia, the first debate took place, during which the current Vice President of the USA stated, among other things, that Trump has "dictatorial tendencies" and that if he were president, Vladimir Putin would already be in Kyiv and "have an eye on the rest of Europe. Meanwhile, her 78-year-old opponent caused widespread outrage by sharing a conspiracy theory that migrants from Haiti eat Americans' dogs and cats.
Right after the debate, Taylor Swift added her two cents. One of the most powerful stars in the industry admitted that she was motivated to speak out, among other things, by false content generated by artificial intelligence, in which she supposedly expressed support for Donald Trump. In the published statement, the 34-year-old expressed her support for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz and then explained her decision.
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 wrote.
A photo of the artist posing with a cat was intentionally attached to Taylor's post. The star ended her statement by signing herself as a "childless cat lady." This was a reference to the words of the Republican vice-presidential candidate from 2021, J.D. Vance.
After the publication of the post, which was a political manifesto, the artist lost over half a million followers on Instagram. Elon Musk did not remain indifferent to Taylor Swift's words. The multibillionaire, who openly supports Donald Trump's candidacy, mocked Taylor in a post on X, making her an inappropriate "offer."
Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life - scoffed.
Throughout the Harris-Trump debate, the Tesla co-founder posted and reposted entries favoring Donald Trump's candidacy and opposing Kamala Harris. It is worth noting that Musk, who has eleven children, is fighting for custody of three of them, resulting from his relationship with the singer Grimes.
So far, neither Taylor Swift nor her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, have responded to the controversial billionaire's taunt.
