Just after its conclusion, singer Taylor Swift spoke out publicly, expressing support for Kamala Harris.
Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country. [...] 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. - Swift wrote on Instagram to her 283 million followers.
Elon Musk responded to Taylor Swift. Wants to give her a child
After publishing the post, the singer lost over half a million followers on Instagram. Elon Musk did not remain indifferent to Taylor Swift's words. The billionaire, who openly supports Donald Trump's candidacy, mocked that the singer "won".
Fine Taylor… you win… I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life - Musk tried to jab at the star.
Let us recall that Swift signed her post after the debate as "childless cat lady", which was a reference to the unfavourable comments from Trump supporters.
It is likely this fact that the controversial billionaire was referring to.
The head of SpaceX has 11 children and is fighting for custody of three who he had with his former partner Grimes. During the Harris-Trump debate, he posted and shared entries favourable to Donald Trump's candidacy and opposing Kamala Harris. Neither Taylor Swift nor her beloved, Travis Kelce, decided to respond to the billionaire.
