Like many others, Elon Musk's estranged daughter was “disgusted” by her father's “abhorrent” offer – or “threat” – to impregnate Taylor Swift. The pop star had angered him and other Donald Trump supporters by endorsing Kamala Harris after Trump's poor performance on the presidential debate on Tuesday night.
Vivian Jenna Wilson's outrage got here after the Tesla CEO posted his “creepy” X-message to Swift, who had described herself as a “childless cat lady” in her Harris ad.
“Okay, Taylor… you win… I will give you a child and protect your cats with my life,” Musk wrote on his X Platform, possibly to be clever, but in his usual, “painfully unfunny” way, as New York Magazine said.
On Threads, Wilson first praised Harris for the “destruction” of Trump in the controversy. Then she applauded Swift for “the timing” her support of the previous San Francisco district attorney's campaign to change into America's first female president – just minutes after Harris and Trump left the controversy stage in Philadelphia. “Can't wait to see the Swifties at the polls! Vote blue,” Wilson said, punctuating her post with two blue heart emojis.
Wilson then he confirmed “the tweet”, which each New York Magazine and Rolling Stone said may very well be interpreted as a threat. The “tweet” was her father's response to Swift's support and his “sexist” interpretation of her self-proclaimed status as a “childless cat lady.” The infamous “childless cat lady” moniker comes from Trump's running mate JD Vance and his past statements that demeaned women, cat owners, and childless couples.
“And yes, I saw 'the tweet,'” Wilson said on Threads. “Vile incel nonsense is indeed vile incel nonsense. I really have nothing to add to it, it's just vile. That much is obvious, and if you don't understand how, then you're part of the problem. I just want to say to my listeners, don't let people talk to you like that. It's disgusting, condescending, and incredibly sexist. You deserve better.”
Wilson's response to her father's post is little question shaped by her own difficult experience as certainly one of 12 children he fathered with three different women. The 20-year-old, who’s transgender, has accused Musk of being an absent father and a “serial adulterer” who treated her cruelly for being too “feminine.”
Wilson's concerns were confirmed by an evaluation of Musk's statement about wanting to impregnate Swift in New York Magazine. With his specific statement, “I'm going to give you a child,” New York Magazine said, “there's a lot going on.”
As Wilson suggested, Musk is basically sexually harassing Swift on X for expressing a political opinion. New York Magazine identified that the billionaire has been accused of sexual misconduct before – which he denies. But Musk's remark also is available in the context of “other strange and disturbing things” the billionaire has said and done, based on New York Magazine.
Musk is obsessive about low birth rates, New York Magazine explained. This obsession has led him to consider that he’s an excellent father figure and a worldwide visionary who should populate the earth with as a lot of his offspring as possible. It has also led him to spread the “theory of the great replacement,” New York Magazine added. This is a White supremacist conspiracy Theory that states that national immigration policies which can be welcoming to non-white immigrants are a conspiracy to undermine or “replace” the political power and culture of whites living in Western countries.
New York Magazine argued that Musk's response to Swift actually had a racist aspect. On the one hand, his statement that he was offering to “protect your cats with my life” may very well be interpreted as Musk joking that he’s the massive, strong man who will protect her and her beloved pets. But the statement also touches on the concept that he’ll protect her cats “from migrants who try to eat them,” based on New York Magazine.
His statement echoes the recent racist, right-wing conspiracy theory about Haitian immigrants, first floated by Vance and amplified by Trump throughout the debate when the previous president said, “They eat the dogs, the people who came here, they eat the cats.” That theory holds that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, are kidnapping and eating pets.
On Sunday, Musk did his part to spread the conspiracy theory by sharing an X-contribution by conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who also said that Springfield residents are losing their pets to hungry Haitians – “another gift from Biden and Harris’ mass immigration replacement plan.”
musk wrote, “Apparently people’s pet cats are being eaten.”
While Musk continued to insist on the conspiracy theory, Swift actually “won” the post-debate news cycle in several ways – as Musk admitted and maybe feared.
The “Fortnight” singer cleaned up on the MTV Video Music Awards on Wednesday night, winning seven awards, including the highest prize for Video of the Year, making her the solo artist with probably the most VMA wins of her profession and the artist with probably the most video wins of the yr.
Swift concluded her speech for the award for Video of the Year by asking fans to vote within the November 5 presidential election, a follow-up to her Harris endorsement, where she also urged people to register to vote in the event that they had not already done so. The link to Vote.org that Harris provided along with her endorsement attracted greater than 330,000 visitors to the federal government website within the roughly 12 hours after she posted her message on Instagram.
