Public reporting documents several times Elon Musk addressed Taylor Swift or commented on Swift-related news between 2022 and 2024. The cited reports found no public reply from Swift to those posts. That record supports a description of unanswered public posts—not a claim about private communications or Musk’s private intentions.
What did Elon Musk post about Taylor Swift?
The examples range from a direct suggestion to post music on X to comments about Swift’s career and public profile. Some addressed Swift directly; others responded to news about her. The sequence helps explain why observers characterized the posts as attempts to get her attention, but that characterization is interpretation rather than proof of romantic intent.
April 2022: a tag about her posting activity
India Today reported that Musk tagged Swift on X on April 9, 2022, noting that she had not posted in three months. The outlet discussed the post as one item in an X user’s compilation of Musk posts that, in the user’s view, Swift had not publicly acknowledged. The broader claim that Musk had been trying to get her attention for years originated with that user; it is not evidence about private contact. India Today
September 2023: a suggestion about posting music on X
After Swift promoted the re-release of 1989, Musk replied on September 20: “I recommend posting some music or concert videos directly on the X platform.” The Los Angeles Times reported that Swift did not publicly respond to the suggestion. Los Angeles Times

December 2023: a comment on her TIME recognition
When Swift was named TIME’s 2023 Person of the Year, Musk congratulated her and added: “Some risk of popularity decline after this award. I speak from experience lol.” India Today reported the post as another example in the compilation. It is unsolicited commentary, but the words alone do not establish that Musk was trying to woo her. India Today
April 2024: praise for a chart achievement
Futurism reported that Musk replied to a post about Swift occupying the top 14 positions on the Billboard Hot 100, calling the achievement “very Impressive indeed!” This was a response to news about her chart performance, rather than a documented private exchange with Swift. Futurism
July 2024: the post about a child and her cats
After Swift endorsed Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in September 2024, Musk posted: “Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.” PolitiFact identifies this as the post at the center of a later false-screenshot claim. Its political context matters: the post followed Swift’s endorsement; it was not evidence of a private exchange. PolitiFact
Did Taylor Swift really reply to Musk about his daughter?
No. In September 2024, a doctored screenshot circulated that purported to show Swift replying to Musk. PolitiFact found no such post on Swift’s X account and no evidence of a response on the other accounts it checked. The screenshot should not be treated as authentic. PolitiFact

The cited reporting found no public reply from Swift to the posts discussed here, including the July 2024 post. That is a bounded claim about the public posts and accounts the sources examined. It does not establish whether the two have communicated privately, nor does it settle whether Swift has ever responded to Musk in any other context or on every platform.
Quick Recap
Best Value
What the public record can—and cannot—show
- It can show: Musk made multiple public posts addressing Swift or reacting to news about her, from a tag in April 2022 through the posts reported in 2024.
- It can show: the cited sources did not find a public reply from Swift to those posts, and PolitiFact found the viral reply screenshot was fabricated.
- It cannot show: Musk’s private motives or whether private communication took place. “Wooing,” “crush,” and “sad attempts” are interpretations of the public pattern, not facts established by the posts.
