Elon Musk has ignited a firestorm on social media after dragging singer Taylor Swift into the ongoing controversy surrounding his gesture at former President Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony.
The billionaire faced intense criticism after reposting tweets that seemingly compared Swift to Adolf Hitler, sparking outrage among her fans, aka Swifties. One of the tweets Musk shared, originally posted by @WholeMarsBlog, showed an image of Swift with her arm outstretched, accompanied by the caption, “My god. Not her too.” Musk also reposted another tweet by @EndWokeness, which placed the picture of Swift with an image of Hitler giving a Nazi salute, asking, “Does this mean Swifties = Hitler Youth?”
