I think Elon Musk has enough kids he doesn’t pay attention to and who’ve disowned him.

Musk’s response, seemingly in jest, targeted Swift’s sign-off in her endorsement where she referred to herself as a “childless cat lady.” He tweeted, “Fine Taylor… you win… I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life,” hinting at the singer’s well-known fondness for her pets.

Swift’s endorsement came shortly after Harris faced off against her Republican rival, former President Donald Trump, in their first presidential debate on Tuesday night. The singer’s support of Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, has already sparked significant attention online.

Musk’s tweet added a lighthearted twist to the intense political moment, though it quickly gained traction among their millions of followers.
