Musk, never one to back down from a war of words, took to X to fire back. His response was pointed and unapologetic:
“You won’t be missed, Travis. I don’t have time to banter with someone ‘riding the coattails’ of his girlfriend publicly. So, bye-bye.”
The comment, which has since gone viral, added fuel to the already blazing fire surrounding Kelce and Swift’s highly publicized romance. Fans of both Kelce and Swift were quick to react, with some defending the Kansas City Chiefs tight end while others sided with Musk’s sharp critique.
Kelce has yet to respond publicly to Musk’s dig, but the exchange has certainly added another layer of intrigue to the cultural phenomenon surrounding “Traylor” (as fans have dubbed the couple).
For Musk, the feud serves as yet another example of his unpredictable and often polarizing online persona. For Kelce, it’s a reminder that the intersection of sports, celebrity, and social media can be as treacherous as any NFL defensive line.
One thing is clear: this clash between two of today’s most talked-about figures is unlikely to be the last word. As the NFL season heats up and the Swift-Kelce relationship continues to dominate headlines, expect more drama both on and off the field.
