Elon Musk, a Trump supporter, mocked singer Taylor Swift on social media after the star announced her support for Ms. Harris.

After the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on September 10, 34-year-old pop star Taylor Swift posted a statement of support for Ms. Harris on her Instagram account with 283 million followers, along with a photo of the singer holding a cat and signing it “Childless Cat Lady”.

The photo and signature were meant to mock the controversial statement of Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance in 2021, saying that “childless cat ladies” are making the country miserable. “Cat ladies” is slang in the US, used to mock older women without children, who only like to live with cats and are moody.

Billionaire Elon Musk, a Trump supporter, posted a sarcastic post about Taylor Swift on September 11. “Okay Taylor, you win, I’ll give you a child and protect your cat with my life,” Musk wrote on his X account, which has 197 million followers.

In the comments section, many people attacked Musk, saying he was disrespectful to women, acting strangely and not being serious.

Meanwhile, one account responded to Musk by posting a chart showing that the number of unmarried Democratic women was much higher than that of Republican women. The billionaire responded by posting a “100” emoji, expressing his praise.

Elon Musk has publicly expressed his support for Trump since the former president’s assassination attempt in Pennsylvania in July, and has donated money to Trump’s campaign. Musk was previously said to be supporting Biden in the 2020 election.

In a speech to business executives in New York on September 5, Trump announced that he would assign Musk to oversee “the entire financial and performance audit process of the federal government” if elected. The American billionaire later posted that he “looked forward to serving the country”.
