Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has issued a cautionary note to pop sensation Taylor Swift, following her recent recognition as Time's "Person of the Year."
Musk, who himself was a recipient of the same accolade in 2021, congratulated Swift on his X social media platform, but also warned her of the potential for a dip in popularity post-award, stating, "Some risk of popularity decline after this award. I speak from experience lol."
Musk, no stranger to controversy, had previously made headlines when he disclosed internal documents from X (formerly known as Twitter), which he had acquired. These documents, known as the "Twitter Files," revealed the platform's censorship practices at the time.
Swift, currently in the midst of her highly successful "Eras Tour," has also recently stirred up controversy. During her Time interview, she addressed complaints from a section of football fans who felt she was overly featured during NFL broadcasts when she attended games to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs' tight end, Trace Kelce.
Swift responded, "Im just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if Im being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads and Chads. She further expressed her bewilderment at how the TV camera operators were able to locate her suite during the games, stating, "Theres a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you dont know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast."
Despite the controversy, Swift expressed her newfound appreciation for the sport, saying, "Football is awesome, it turns out. Ive been missing out my whole life."
The "Willow" singer also faced accusations of dabbling in "sorcery" due to the mystical elements incorporated into her performance of the song, where she and her backup dancers don cloaks and hold glowing orbs.
Adding to the list of controversies, NFL legend Terry Bradshaw accused Swift of lipsyncing during her performances. The former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback expressed skepticism about Swift's ability to simultaneously sing and dance for over three hours per concert.
