Elon Musk slammed for response to post

Elon Musk recently drew criticism for reacting with a laughing emoji to a social media post that featured Donald Trump mocking Taylor Swift’s appearance. Trump posted on Truth Social, claiming Swift was no longer “hot” since he declared his dislike for her. Social media users condemned Musk’s response, accusing him of body-shaming. Some speculated that Trump and Musk’s continued remarks about Swift stem from resentment over her success and billionaire status.

This isn’t the first time Musk has made controversial comments about Swift. Previously, he joked about having a child with her after she expressed support for Kamala Harris during Trump’s campaign. Musk also referenced Swift when addressing accusations of performing a Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration by sharing a comparison image of Swift and Adolf Hitler. Swift, meanwhile, has remained largely unbothered by the remarks, focusing on her career despite the online drama.
