Elon Musk has decided to join in on the conversation between Donald Trump and Taylor Swift.
Just yesterday, May 16, the president of the United States went online to throw an unflattering comment at one of the world’s most famous pop stars.
The two haven’t exactly been on the friendliest of terms, given their differing political viewpoints, with Swift very publicly supporting and donating campaigns that oppose Trump. When he was made aware of this, the politician said he liked her music “25 percent less” in 2018.

Highlights
- Elon Musk reacted with a laughing crying emoji to Donald Trump's tweet about Taylor Swift, sparking backlash online.
- Netizens slammed Musk for joining Trump and called out the billionaire for body-shaming the singer.
- Taylor Swift's popularity continues to soar with rising Spotify listeners and a historic $1.6B net worth in 2025.

Earlier this year, he had also brought attention to the singer getting aggressively “booed out of” the stadium after a Chiefs game, and another jab about her Superbowl appearance.
And this time, the Tesla Motors CEO is right by his side.
Trump said in a post to Truth Social, “Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT?’”

A few comments thought the abrupt tweet was humorous, adding memes and sharing the screenshot of the text on their platform.
Musk was one of these, as he responded with a crying laughing emoji.
While his message is certainly short, a figure like Musk is anything but invisible. Netizens immediately noticed his comment and called him out for acknowledging Trump’s tweet.
Netizens slammed the billionaire for his acknowledgement
One person on Reddit scoffed at him for “body-shaming” the singer.
Another said, “They need to leave her the f–ck alone what’s their obsession with her.”
People thought the “obsession” was getting out of hand

A third put in the theory that Musk and Trump are so “obsessed” with the singer because “she’s their class peer as a billionaire and they hate it.”
“Same guy who threatened to put a baby in her last year? Dude is disgusting,” a user slammed.
After all, it certainly isn’t the first time Musk has brought up Swift.

Just last year when tensions were high as Trump and Kamala Harris went head-to-head to become the 47th president of the US, Swift very clearly vocalized who she’d be casting her vote to.
She took to Instagram to support Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, and brought up an AI image of her suggesting that she was endorsing Trump.
“It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation,” she said. “It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.”
The All Too Well singer signed the message as ‘childless cat lady’ — a reference to JD Vance’s remarks that prominent Democrats were being a “bunch of childless cat ladies.”

Musk responded to this on X, formerly known as Twitter, and said, “Fine Taylor… you win… I will give you a child and guard your cars with my life.”
As Bored Panda previously reported, despite Trump’s very obvious displeasure with the singer, it seems the 14-time Grammy-winning artist’s popularity has only risen in recent years.
During the election, her presence was very culturally relevant and interest in both her person and music continues to skyrocket.
An analysis by Chartmetric showed the 35-year-old has consistently gained new Spotify listeners every month in 2025.

Off the beloved Lover album, her song Cruel Summer remains her most popular track at 2.9 billion streams in just the last 14 days. August, off of her album folklore, saw 1.5 billion streams in the same time period.
Not only that, but Swift has a net worth of $1.6 billion and her most recent world tour, The Eras Tour, is the highest-grossing tour in history, with iHeart Radio Music Awards honoring it with the name “Tour of the Century” — even though we are only a quarter of the way there.
She is widely regarded by critics as the most financially successful musician of her generation, with her commercial success increasing over time.
Comments didn’t hesitate to poke fun at Musk

I am normally not someone to body shame, but there is just some flat out irony when two of the least attractive men I have ever seen denigrate the looks of someone they couldn't even pay for with all their money.

I think it's ok to call a person ugly if they are ugly on the inside too. The inside always outshine the outside regardless how you look like.

I think if you put Musk & Trump together they still wouldn't hit any type of intellectual scale. Besides it being rather cringe men of their age are commenting on a young woman being "hot."

It’s true what one commenter said that Swift is now in their peer class as a billionaire, and it’s just chapping their saggy, flabby, fish belly white, enormous asses, including the ones between their shoulders. Yeah, and Tylor’s billions are not inherited. Her family may be comfortable, but they’re nowhere near billionaire level.

I'm not a Swiftie, but I continue to marvel at how wafer thin Trump's skin is that he feels he must attack anyone famous person who criticizes him. I'm pretty sure she'd still sell out a venue faster than he would. And Elon is just the lame sidekick

I seriously worry if this country can rebound after these next four years. The fact that the people in federal government are bashing musicians, celebrities, poor, people of color, and other things instead of creating policies that improve this country, he is arrogant and wants to be a king and is embarrassing, childish, and dangerous rhetoric.

There's no doubt in my mind that Trump's buffoonery will last many years after he's out of office. Just look at the damage he's done in 100 days. Economy and stock market in chaos, foreign relationships in the $hitter, vital and beneficial programs gutted... it's a g0ddamned nightmare.

Not a Taylor Swift fan. She looks like a pretty lady. But Elon looks like a shaved ape. I apologize to all the apes out there.

These dumb f***s don't realize that they are not just antagonizing Swift, they are antagonizing Swifties, many of whom are underage. In less than two years, many of them will be eligible to vote in the next election. Do you think they will vote for Trump's party? Go Blue!

Trump is a repulsive bloviated worm that makes me throw up a little in my mouth every time I even see a picture of his hideous countenance. He's a knuckle dragging d****t who views every women as a sexual object, including his own daughter The rabid muskrat is the equivalent of a dog h*****g on your leg. Johnny Applesperm trying to infect women everywhere with his spawn.

Oh Muskrat. You can't even create a viable build in Elden Ring. And no, I won't ever let you forget that, because I know it physically hurts you to be reminded of it.

This coming from one guy who is a walking Cheeto with the most epically bad comb over that I've ever seen and the other looks like he would qualify as a patient on the "Botched" TV show. I'm NEVER down with body shaming anyone, but for those two walking butt plugs I'll make an exception.

No it wasn't. He once told Howard Stern he could call Ivanka, his own daughter, a "piece of a*s". He's a disgusting misogynist.
