Elon Musk is slammed for ‘creepy’ offer to ‘give Taylor Swift a child’: ‘What is wrong with you?’
Elon Musk has been blasted for offering to “give Taylor Swift a child” after the singer endorsed Kamala Harris.
On Tuesday night (September 10), millions of viewers tuned into the former United States President Donald Trump and Vice President Harris’ first presidential debate.
In the event, held at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, the two candidates bashed each other’s policies and proposals for a fiery 90 minutes.

Moments after the end of the debate, the 34-year-old ‘Love Story’ songstress took to her Instagram to publicly endorse the Democratic candidate.
Swift said in her post, shared with her 283 million followers, that Harris would be the “warrior” to fight for the rights and causes she believes in.
Read Swift’s post below:
Swift, who shared her statement alongside a picture of herself with her cat from her December TIME cover, continued: “As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can….I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election.
“I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos,” she explained. “I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.”
Swift also addressed AI-generated pictures shared by Trump that falsely depicted her and her fans endorsing his campaign for president. “It really conjured up my fears around AI and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter,” she shared.
The ‘Karma’ songstress then penned that she did her “research” and urged her fans to do the same, before signing off with “Childless cat lady,” a reference to remarks made by Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance.
As of the time of writing, over 6 million people have liked Swift’s endorsement of the 59-year-old.
Following the Grammy-winning singer’s endorsement, X owner Elon Musk took to the social media platform to send a bizarre public message to the artist.
“Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life,” he wrote in the post, which has amassed 107K likes.
The Tesla owner’s post sparked thousands of replies, with many people labeling his offer as “creepy”.
“What the f*** is wrong with you,” one angry person questioned, while a second slammed: “You are creepy and weird.”
“Elon is such a f***ing creep. Go take care of your own children and keep Taylor’s name out of your f***ing mouth,” a third blasted, and a fourth remarked that Swift should “get a restraining order for this comment alone”.
Neither the musician nor her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, have responded to Musk’s strange offer.
The 53-year-old billionaire has fathered 12 children. He welcomed six kids with his first wife, Justine Wilson, three with his ex-girlfriend Grimes, and three with his Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.
Musk has long been outspoken about declining birth rates and his belief that people must seek to have more babies to help the population.
In July 2022, the Space X founder wrote on X: “A collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilization faces by far,” and highlighted his commitment to addressing the “underpopulation crisis”.
He also emphasized in his biography that he only wants “smart people” to have children, as cited by PEOPLE.
