Elon Musk slammed for response to post 'body-shaming' Taylor Swift after Trump said 'she's no longer hot'
Elon Musk has highlighted comments made by Donald Trump on social media about Taylor Swift 'no longer' being 'hot'.
It's not like Donald Trump and Elon Musk have anything better to do, right? Not like one is supposed to be running the country and the other overseeing Twitter alongside advising said president of the US.
Instead, it seems the pair have been directing their keyboard warrior fury towards none other than pop star Taylor Swift.
Whether it be in 2018 when Trump said he liked Swift's music '25 percent less' after she showed support for the Democrats, earlier this year when Trump highlighted Swift getting 'booed out of' the stadium after a Chiefs game, or yet another jab made about her Super Bowl appearance.

It appears Trump isn't finished there, now taking aim at Swift's appearance.
In a post to Truth Social on May 16, Trump said: "Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she’s no longer 'HOT?'"
A Twitter account titled Autism Capital later shared a screenshot of the post to the platform, adding: "Trump woke up today and said 'You know what it’s been a while since I blasted Taylor Swift.'"
Another account then shared a photograph of Swift performing on stage alongside a 'Pepe the Frog' meme edited into the image holding a ruler by Swift's bottom.
And who should respond? Why, Kekius Maximus of course, AKA Elon Musk - adding a laughing emoji.
And it's not taken long for people to slam Musk for his response to the post.
One Reddit user accused Musk of 'body-shaming' the singer.
A second added: "They need to leave her the f**k alone what’s their obsession with her."
A third theorized the reason Trump and Musk are so 'obsessed' with Swift is because 'she's their class peer as a billionaire and they hate it'.
And someone else wrote: "Same guy who threatened to put a baby in her last year? Dude is disgusting."
Indeed, it's not the first time Musk has brought up Swift either.
When Trump went head-to-head with Kamala Harris to become the 47th President of the US, Swift weighed in online with where she'd be casting her vote.
Swift took to Instagram to state her support for Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, explaining that an AI image of her seemingly endorsing Trump had supported her decision for transparency.
She said: "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."
At the end of the statement, she signed ‘childless cat lady’ below her name, referencing JD Vance’s remarks about prominent Democrats being a ‘bunch of childless cat ladies’.
And in a bizarre turn of events, Musk then took to Twitter to respond: "Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life."
Oh, and Musk hasn't stopped there either.
After being accused of doing a 'Nazi salute' while at Trump's inauguration ceremony, Musk seemingly saw it as yet another opportunity to mention Swift.
Musk later shared a picture of Adolf Hitler performing a Nazi salute alongside a shot of Swift with her arm raised.
On Reddit, a post included footage of Swift from the supposed incident in 2014, showing she's actually blowing a kiss to the crowd...
UNILAD has contacted representatives of Elon Musk and Taylor Swift for comment.
