Jason Kelce has openly condemned Elon Musk for making an inappropriate comment about Taylor Swift following her recent endorsement of Kamala Harris for the 2024 election.

Swift had posted on Instagram, emphasizing her careful consideration as a voter and voicing her support for Harris and Tim Walz, referring to Harris as a steady and capable leader. In a jab at earlier comments made by Republican JD Vance, Swift signed off humorously as a “childless cat lady.”

Musk’s response, in which he suggested he would “give her a child” and “protect her cats,” sparked widespread backlash. While some viewed Musk’s comment as a joke, many, including Kelce, found it distasteful, with Kelce calling it “absolutely disgusting” in a comment online. The incident has further stirred debate, particularly given the political context and Swift’s significant influence.

No, Travis Kelce Didn’t Respond to Elon Musk’s Taylor Swift Tweet

Travis Kelce recently became the focus of social media chatter after a supposed response to Elon Musk‘s tweet about Taylor Swift went viral. While many were quick to believe the exchange, the reality behind the buzz tells a different story. So, what actually unfolded, and how did this narrative take off so rapidly?

Let’s dive into the facts and set the record straight about this latest social media frenzy.

Did Travis Kelce respond to Elon Musk’s tweet about Taylor Swift?

The viral screenshot, which falsely claimed to show Kelce’s response, was digitally altered. X’s community notes have flagged it for users. A post on X (formerly Twitter) has been circulating, showing Kelce allegedly saying, “I’m 6’5″ and actually play football. The fact I went to college, got a degree, and worked hard might be lost on you. I don’t play backgammon, but I do play chess. I could also twist you into a pretzel.”

However, Kelce has not posted anything related to Musk’s comments, with his most recent activity involving unrelated content from earlier in the month. The fabricated screenshot began circulating after Taylor Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, prompting Elon Musk to post a sarcastic tweet directed at Swift.

The fake Kelce response, which seemed convincing to many, actually came from an unrelated joke among sports fans on social media. Despite the image’s virality, there is no evidence that Kelce engaged with Musk’s tweet or made any public comments about it.

The Kelce brothers briefly mentioned Musk—specifically his company Tesla—in a recent episode of their New Heights podcast, released this week. However, they recorded this episode before Musk commented on Swift’s political endorsement in the current presidential election cycle.

This incident highlights how quickly false information can spread on social media, especially when it involves famous individuals. Although both Musk and Kelce are often in the public eye, there is no confirmed interaction between them regarding this situation.
