Former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tore into billionaire X owner Elon Musk on Monday over his “rotten and creepy” post about impregnating Taylor Swift.
During an appearance on Kara Swisher’s podcast On, Clinton spoke about Swift’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris, before noting that Musk had said “something really rotten and creepy about her” in response.
“Please comment on that,” replied Swisher, recalling that Musk “said he would essentially have a baby with her or forcibly have a baby with her.”
Clinton responded, “Yeah, impregnate her, which, you know, is kind of another way of saying rape, I think.”
The former secretary of state continued, “I can’t understand, you know, why he says what he says. You and I have talked about this before. It just is beyond my imagination.”
She added:
When I see Trump or I see him [Musk], but you know really the whole cast of these MAGA characters, and especially for the so-called masters of the universe in the technology world, misogyny is such a part of their worldview, and they gravitate toward toughness and brutality and machoism. And you know, here’s Taylor Swift, a self-made billionaire who brings joy to people, who imparts life lessons, particularly to girls and women. They can’t stand it.
Musk received backlash on social media last week after he reacted to Swift’s endorsement of Harris with a bizarre post about giving the pop star a child.
“Fine Taylor … you win,” wrote Musk. “I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.”
While the post appeared to be a response to Swift signing her endorsement with the title, “Childless Cat Lady,” it shocked even his most ardent supporters.
