Taylor Swift: Will Taylor Swift sue Elon Musk for his ‘child’ comment after her support post for Kamala Harris?

Rapper Azealia Banks has sparked new controversy by calling on pop icon Taylor Swift to take legal action against Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk over a remark she describes as “sexual harassment.”

The situation arose after Musk suggested in a strange tweet that he might give Swift a child, after which Banks suggested that Swift should sue and seek damages.

Azealia Banks criticizes Elon Musk’s comment

The controversy began when Musk made an unusual comment in response to Swift’s support for US Vice President Kamala Harris. In a now-viral tweet, Musk wrote: “Well, Taylor… you won… I will give you a child and protect your cats with my life.” The tweet was widely criticized as inappropriate and full of sexist undertones.

According to a report from Yahoo, rapper Azealia Banks was quick to respond, taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to denounce Musk. She called the tweet “sexual harassment” and called on Swift to take legal action. Banks expressed her opinion in a bold post: “Taylor should get his ass off and sue him for a ton of money and become the most invincible, richest woman in music history. Take his damn money, Taylor!”

Banks didn’t stop at the initial call for legal action. In subsequent tweets, she continued to criticize Musk and imagined the impact a lawsuit could have on his vast fortune, which is estimated at over $250 billion. She enthusiastically suggested that Swift could significantly reduce his wealth. The rapper also speculated on the reaction of Kanye West, who has been at loggerheads with Swift for a long time. Banks said that if Swift were to win a lawsuit against Musk, it would hurt West’s ego, and humorously referenced his public rivalry with Swift since their infamous encounter at the 2009 MTV VMAs.

Musk’s daughter joins the criticism

According to Yahoo report, Musk’s transgender daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson further fueled the controversy by expressing her disapproval of her father’s comments on Threads. Wilson, who has publicly distanced herself from Musk, condemned his remarks about Swift, calling them “vile incel nonsense.” She expressed her support for Swift and praised her support for Kamala Harris. She stated that the timing of Swift’s political stance was perfect.

Wilson also criticized Musk’s tweet as “disgusting, derogatory and incredibly sexist,” and stated that such behavior was unacceptable, especially from someone with his influence. Her public criticism highlighted the family tensions and added another layer to the ongoing discourse surrounding Musk’s behavior.

Swift’s political support and public reaction

Swift’s support for Kamala Harris came in the wake of a heated debate between Donald Trump and Harris. During the debate, Trump made controversial remarks about immigration and reproductive rights, prompting Swift to announce her support for the Democratic candidates in the 2024 U.S. election. On Instagram, Swift explained her decision, praising Harris as a “calm, gifted leader” and expressing her desire for an administration led by calm rather than chaos.

Swift’s support for Harris drew praise from her fans, but also criticism from Trump. In a media appearance, he said he preferred Brittany Mahomes, the wife of NFL star Patrick Mahomes, to Swift. He criticized Swift’s liberal leanings and predicted that she would “pay a price” for her political stance in the market.
