Elon Musk Creepily Offers to ‘Give’ Taylor Swift a ‘Child’ After She Endorses Kamala Harris

Musk, a father of 12, was responding to Swift shading Trump’s running mate JD Vance, who referred to women without children as "childless cat ladies."

Elon Musk, 53, has offered to "give" Taylor Swift, 34, "a child" after she endorsed Kamala Harris for president.

In a tweet shared shortly after Swift shared her endorsement, in which she shaded JD Vance for his infamous "childless cat ladies" comment, the father of 12 and Space X founder made a creepy joke on his X account. "Fine Taylor ... you win ... I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life," wrote Musk.

The loaded comment, which comes amid Musk's custody battle for three of his kids with ex-girlfriend Grimes, comes after Musk previously claimed that "population collapse due to low birth rates is a much bigger risk to civilization than global warming." As CNN reported in 2022, however, the global population is growing and demographers said that population collapse won't be happening anytime soon.

Musk's offer to donate his bodily fluids was, unsurprisingly, met with disgust on social media.

Musk also offered up more thoughts about the debate, which were equally inane but perhaps less predatory.

"While I don't think the debate hosts were fair to [Donald Trump], [Kamala Harris] exceeded most people's expectations tonight," he wrote. "That said, when it comes to getting things done, not just saying nice-sounding words, I strongly believe that Trump will do a far better job. After all, if Kamala can do great things, why hasn't she? Biden rarely shows up for work, so she's basically in charge already."

He also suggested that if Harris wins the election in November, "laws & regulations will keep getting worse every year until every great endeavor, from high-speed rail between our cities to making life multi-planetary, is effectively illegal." In a comment that likely has no sway on the undecided voters, he added, "We will never reach Mars if Kamala wins."

After the debate on Tuesday, Sept. 10, Swift shared an image of her with a cat and endorsed Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election.

"I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz," she wrote. "I'm voting for [Kamala Harris] because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. ... I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate [Tim Walz], who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman's right to her own body for decades."

She signed off the endorsement with, "With love and hope, Taylor Swift. Childless Cat Lady." Trump's running JD Vance referred to women without children as "childless cat ladies," a comment he has repeatedly refused to apologize for.
