Hillary Clinton slams Elon Musk over 'creepy' tweet on Taylor Swift, calls him Trump's 'alter ego'

WASHINGTON, DC: Hillary Clinton appeared on the latest episode of journalist Kara Swisher's podcast 'On' and the conversation took a wild turn to a controversial figure we all know—tech billionaire Elon Musk.

But this time, Musk wasn’t making headlines for Tesla or SpaceX. Nope, he was catching heat for a bizarre tweet involving Taylor Swift — and let’s just say Clinton did not hold back.

Hillary Clinton calls Elon Musk Donald Trump's 'alter ego'

It all kicked off when Hillary Clinton brought up Donald Trump, suggesting that he had Elon Musk act as his “alter ego” to throw some shade at Swift after she publicly endorsed Kamala Harris.

According to Clinton, Trump had Elon Musk say something “really rotten and creepy” about the pop star. Naturally, Swisher couldn’t let this slide without getting Clinton to spill more. “Please comment on that,” she eagerly urged.

Clinton dove right into Musk’s tweet from the night of the GOP debate, where he wrote, “Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.”

The former secretary of state interpreted it as Musk offering to forcibly “impregnate” Swift and she did not mince words. She said it was “kind of another way of saying rape.” Ouch.

“I can’t understand why he says what he says,” Clinton added of Musk. “It just is beyond my imagination.” Whether it’s Trump or Musk or any other “so-called masters of the universe in the technology world,” she added, “Misogyny is such a part of their worldview, and they gravitate toward toughness and brutality and machoism.”

Clinton went on to discuss why these men might have it out for Swift. “Here’s Taylor Swift, a self-made billionaire who brings joy to people who imparts life lessons, particularly to girls and women,” she said. “They can’t stand it.”

Swift’s recent Instagram post —which hit 4 million likes in just one hour— condemned the spread of misinformation and fake AI-generated images that made it look like she was supporting Trump. She also used the post to encourage her fans to register to vote—something that clearly struck a nerve.

But to Clinton, this is par for the course for Swift. Clinton praised the pop icon's courage for standing up to a man who groped her at a meet-and-greet in 2013 and for her ongoing battle to reclaim the rights to her music from Scooter Braun, the executive who sold the masters to her first six albums without her consent, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

“She’s a singer who charts the course of her life which they relate to as their own lives. But she’s also someone who stood up to a guy who groped her and stood up to get her music back from someone she thought had illegitimately taken it from her,” Clinton gushed.

Trump himself jumped into the fray over the weekend, posting, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT” on Truth Social. This was quite the turnaround from a few years ago when he had tweeted, “Taylor is terrific!”

She insisted that Swift was always going to “trigger” Trump, but the timing of her endorsement—just after the GOP debate—was like adding fuel to the fire. Clinton remarked, “The fact that it happened right after the debate and just added to Kamala’s momentum must have just set them all off.”

Elon Musk trolled online after Hillary Clinton slams him

Hillary Clinton fans on social media lauded her over her recent comments and slammed Elon Musk for his remarks about Taylor Swift.

"Elon Musk open says he has to be the alpha in relationships. But He’s a beta personality, keyboard warrior with a billions of dollars and spews BS hyperbole to be noticed, really shows how small and creepy he really is," one social media user posted on X.

"He’s a disgusting person," another fumed.

"@elonmusk is the nerd in school that is now getting popular/attention. But at heart, he is still a nerd who doesn't know how to communicate with people. He says things to try and make people like him, not because he actually means it," someone else alleged.

"Creepy really sums it up," read a comment.

"I think you nailed it, other than you forgot he's weird too," another added.
