‘Will give you a child’: Elon Musk’s message for Taylor Swift over endorsing Kamala Harris starts social media storm

Taylor Swift made her stance clear for the upcoming US presidential elections moments after the conclusion of the Kamala Harris and Donald Trump debate late Tuesday. The American pop singer openly endorsed Kamala Harris on Instagram. Hours later, tech billionaire Elon Musk reacted to Swift's remark in the most absurd way by saying he would give her a “child and protect her cats with his life”.

In her Instagram post, Taylor Swift called Vice President Kamala Harris a “steady-handed, gifted leader” adding that she can lead the nation by “calm and not chaos”. The post also applauded Kamala Harris's Vice President Pick Tim Walz.

Taylor Swift applauded Tim Walz for “standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and other women's rights”. The 34-year-old singer signed off the post as “Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady,” in an indirect jibe to JD Vance, Donald Trump's pick for Vice President post.
