Hillary Clinton has accused of Elon Musk of 'threatening to rape' Taylor Swift after he offered to give her a child in a bizarre social media post when she endorsed Kamala Harris for president. 

The singer announced her endorsement on Instagram following the debate signing off her post 'Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady' - in a dig at Donald's Trump's running mate J.D. Vance

However less than two hours later, father-of-twelve Musk, who has also spoken out against underpopulation in the past, penned a bizarre proposal to Ms Swift. 

The Tesla and X boss tweeted: 'Fine Taylor … you win...I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.'

Speaking on journalist's Kara Swisher's On podcast, Secretary Clinton appeared dumbfounded by his remarks.

'I can't understand why he says what he says,' Clinton said. '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, misogyny is such a part of their worldview, and they gravitate toward toughness and brutality and machoism.' 

Clinton said that Musk's offer to forcibly 'impregnate' Swift was 'kind of another way of saying rape.' 

'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,' Clinton said noting how Swift's endorsement was always going to 'trigger' Trump.

'I mean, if it had happened before the debate, it would've overpowered the debate. The fact that it happened right after the debate and just added to Kamala's momentum must have just set them all off,' Clinton said.

Swift labeled herself a 'childless cat lady' with her lengthy Instagram post last Tuesday revealing her choice for 2024 and posting an image of herself with one of her three cats

Trump posted 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!' on his Truth Social account without any additional context

Over the weekend Trump wrote on his Truth Social says he hates Swift following the the mega star's endorsement of Harris. 

'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!' the former president blasted.

Five days earlier, Swift detailed in a lengthy Instagram post that she would be voting for Harris in November. However, she did not attack or call out Trump personally.

She also encouraged her millions of followers to do their research on the election  and register to vote with a link she shared of vote.gov on her Instagram story.

Hundreds of thousands of people – around 340,000 – clicked on the link from Swift's story. It represents a very small percentage of her 284 million followers. 

Trump's post on Sunday is his most poignant response to Swift so far.

Right after the debate on Tuesday, Trump was asked about his reaction to Swift's endorsement and he replied simply with: 'I have no idea.'

While some say Swift wading into the political waters of this election could be a huge game changer in November, polling numbers show that her endorsement had little to no influence on the state of the race.

Meanwhile, Musk's comments about Swift come after he previously spoke out about Earth's 'collapsing birth rate' and boasted how he is 'always banging the baby drum'. 

Back in 2022, when he had had nine children with three different women, he posted on X that he was 'doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis'.

Republican vice presidential nominee Vance has mocked 'childless cat ladies' in the past.

In 2021, he told Fox News that America was being run by Democrats, corporate oligarchs and 'a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.'

Swift's post in full read: 'Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven't already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country,' Swift wrote.

'Recently I was made aware that AI of 'me' falsely endorsing Donald Trump's presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. 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,' she added.

She noted that 'I'm voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman's right to her own body for decades.'

'I've done my research, and I've made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it's much easier to vote early. I'll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story,' she wrote.

She ended it: 'With love and hope, Taylor Swift Childless Cat Lady.'

Tim Walz learned of the endorsement in real time during an interview on MSNBC.

'I'm incredibly grateful to Taylor Swift,' Walz said. 'I say that as a fellow cat owner.'

'That's the type of courage we need in America,' he added. 'This is an opportunity Swifties: KamalaHarris.com - get over there.'
