Elon Musk has lately highlighted social media comments made by Donald Trump on Taylor Swift no longer being seen “hot.”
One might question why Trump and Musk are concentrating their efforts here when one is supposed to be guiding the country and the other running Twitter and also counseling the President of the United States.
Rather, it seems both have become focused on pop sensation Taylor Swift. This isn’t the first time; Trump said back in 2018 that he like Swift’s ’25 percent less’ following her Democratic endorsement. Earlier this year, he made another remark regarding her Super Bowl attendance in addition to jabbing her after she was apparently ‘boehed out of’ a stadium following a Chiefs game.
Trump appears not done yet, now focusing on Swift’s appearance.
Trump wrote on Truth Social on May 16: “Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT?'” After some time had passed, Autism Capital sent out a tweet that included a screen capture of this message along with the following information: “Trump woke up today and thought, ‘You know what, it’s been a while since I criticized Taylor Swift.'”
Another story then surfaced showing Swift performing live, deftly manipulated to feature a “Pepe the Frog” joke with a ruler beside Swift’s buttocks. And who choose to offer a comment? Not another until Kekius Maximus, sometimes known as Elon Musk, who answered with a laughing emoji.
Many quickly started calling out Musk for his response to the post.
Reactions erupted after a Reddit member claimed Musk “body-shamed” the musician. “They really need to leave her alone; what’s their obsession with her?” another commenter asked A third user conjectured that Trump and Musk’s obsession with Swift results from her status as a millionaire peer, which they apparently despise. Someone else observed, “Isn’t this the same guy who threatened to put a baby in her last year? It smells bad. Musk has mentioned Swift also not once before.
Swift expressed her voting preference online during Trump’s encounter with Kamala Harris for the 47th Presidential election. She posted on Instagram supporting Harris and her running buddy, Tim Walz, stating that her choice for openness was swayed by an artificial intelligence picture that seemed to back Trump.
She said, “It definitely underlined my worries about artificial intelligence and the dangers connected with the dissemination of false information. This let me realize that as a voter in this election, I have to be absolutely honest about my real objectives. Sharing the truth is the best approach one could use to combat false information.”
She included “childless cat lady” under her name at the end of her remarks, alluding to JD Vance’s remarks on certain Democrats being a “group of childless cat ladies”. Musk answered on Twitter in an unexpected turn: “Alright, Taylor… You won. I will make sure you have a kid and guard your kitties with all of my power.”
Musk has not held back in his replies either.
After claims of a “Nazi salute” at Trump’s inauguration, Musk seemed to grab yet another chance to allude to Swift. Later he uploaded pictures of Swift with her arm up alongside a picture of Adolf Hitler saluting Nazis. Video from the claimed 2014 incident was shown in a Reddit post that unequivocally shows Swift blowing a kiss to the audience instead.
