Trump supporter Elon Musk mocked singer Taylor Swift on social media after the star announced her support for 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 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 controversial remarks by 2021 Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance, who said “childless cat ladies” were making the country miserable. “Cat ladies” is an American slang term used to mock older women who have no children, prefer to live with cats, and are moody.

Trump supporter Elon Musk posted a sarcastic post about Taylor Swift on September 11. “Okay Taylor, you win, I will 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 disrespected women, behaved strangely and was not serious.

Meanwhile, an account responded to Musk by posting a chart showing that the number of unmarried Democratic women is 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 Mr. Trump since the former president was assassinated in Pennsylvania in July, and has donated money to support Mr. Trump’s election campaign. Musk was previously said to be supporting Mr. 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 “looks forward to serving the country.”
