Elon Musk, the billionaire known for his eccentric tweets and controversial statements, has now set his sights on none other than pop icon Taylor Swift. This time, it’s not just business or tech talk but a bizarre offer that left the internet utterly bewildered.
The Twitter/X CEO’s comment came after Swift endorsed Kamala Harris following her stellar performance in a recent presidential debate with Donald Trump. Musk’s response? He promises to give Swift “something” and guard her beloved cats, sparking widespread reactions online. Yes, you read that right.
Elon Musk’s Mocks Taylor Swift For Supporting Kamala Harris
But before we dive into Elon Musk’s outrageous tweet, let’s set the stage a little. Taylor Swift has a massive influence both in the music industry and politically. She took to Instagram to declare her support for Vice President Kamala Harris.
She wrote, “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.” Of course, with over $1 billion in ticket sales from her latest tour, her endorsement created waves, especially among young female voters.

Now, here’s where things get weird. Elon Musk, who has been a vocal Trump supporter in this election, reacted to Swift’s endorsement in the most Musk-like way possible. “Fine Taylor… you win… I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life,” Musk tweeted.
The internet, as you’d expect, lost its collective mind. With Musk’s post quickly gathering over 1.3 million views, users on X didn’t hold back. One user questioned, “Am I reading this right that you are offering to have a child with Taylor Swift?“. While another simply wrote, “My God.” Even the popular account @libsoftiktok got in on the action, tweeting, “What is happening?“
Swift’s fans, or “Swifties” as they are famously called, weren’t amused either. One fan called Musk’s comment “creepy” and added, “The singer wants precisely zero to do with you.” Another person chimed in, asking Musk to “stay in his lane” and focus on rockets, not random, weird tweets aimed at one of the world’s biggest pop stars.
The Cat Lady Comment That Started It All
So why did Elon Musk feel the need to make such an odd offer? Well, it all began with Taylor Swift’s Instagram post, where she signed off her endorsement message as “Childless Cat Lady,” along with a picture of her snuggling one of her cats, Benjamin Button. This jab was aimed at JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, who had previously made remarks targeting women without children, including Vice President Kamala Harris.

Swift, who has always been known for her sharp wit, added that Trump’s use of AI-generated images that falsely showed her supporting him only fueled her decision to publicly back Harris. Her comments, coupled with the picture of her cat, went viral, but it was Musk’s reply that took the conversation to another level of strange.
