Musk, who has more than 197 million followers on X, was reacting to Swift’s Instagram post saying she will vote for Harris, writing in part, “I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.” Swift made the endorsement following Tuesday’s debate between Harris and Donald Trump.
