Tech mogul Elon Musk has offered to father a child with Taylor Swift and protect her cats, after the songstress announced her endorsement in the US presidential race.
In a post to her 280 million Instagram followers, the 34-year-old pop star backed Democrat Kamala Harris, used a photo of herself holding a cat, and signed it โChildless Cat Lady.โ
That appeared to be a dig at a statement by J.D. Vance, Republican candidate Donald Trumpโs running mate, who once said the Democrats are run โby a bunch of childless cat ladies.โ
โFine Taylorโฆ you winโฆ I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life,โ Musk posted on X on Wednesday.
Musk has fathered at least 12 children with three different women since 2000. One died in infancy and another became transgender, after which the tech billionaire famously vowed to โdestroy the woke mind virus.โย
He has also openly endorsed Trump and signaled he would take the job of โgovernment efficiency czarโ in his administration.
Swift publicly backed Harris after Tuesday eveningโs presidential debate with Trump, calling her โa steady-handed, gifted leaderโ and arguing that the US could achieve more โif we are led by calm and not chaos.โ The endorsement did not exactly come as a surprise, since Swift had backed the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris ticket in 2020.ย
Her catty post on Tuesday resulted in losing followers on social media, suggesting that there might be some substance to rumors about many โSwiftiesโ now favoring Trump.
โSwiftโs endorsement of Harris could end up costing her several-hundred-million dollars,โ cartoonist and commentator Scott Adams said on Wednesday. He calculated about a 20% cut to her $92 million annual income from losing pro-Trump fans, paying higher taxes if the Democrats win, and facing โinsaneโ unrealized gains taxes on the value of her music catalog, currently estimated at โaround $500-600 millionโ
โBut if she agrees to have Elonโs baby, she could break even,โ Adams quipped.
