Elon Musk Just Made Taylor Swift Fans Very Angry

Twitter users have called for the site’s new owner Elon Musk to be directly and immediately sent to jail. 

Horny jail, that is. 

Confused? Don’t worry, we’ll explain.

The ultra popular singer-songwriter Taylor Swift kicked off her highly anticipated Eras tour over the weekend, earning rave reviews and oceans of tears from the lucky fans that were able to actually somehow buy tickets after last fall's Ticketmaster (LYV) debacle. 

Twitter was filled with photos, live videos and other reactions from the Swifties, who were out of their minds excited that, after staying off the road for several years due to the pandemic, she treated fans to a three hour plus set. But Twitter was also filled with reactions that some people found a bit baffling.

Dogecoin founder Billy Markus tweeted “Taylor Swift rules and if you disagree you’ll be kicked off the internet i’m pretty sure,” which is almost certainly true. But underneath that Tweet, Musk replied “Her limbic resonance skill is exceptional,” Musk replied.

“Limbic resonance” refers to the notion that a person’s capacity for sharing deep emotional states stems from the brain’s limbic system, explains The Independent. So this seems like a very, very complicated way of saying that Swift is good at getting people to feel things with her music.

Musk then responded directly to a tweet from Swift’s official account, which posted four images of the singer on stage, with a cigarette emoji, seemingly implying that she’s smoking hot.

Musk seemed to be on one, as the young people say, as he then reacted to a post from a user called Teslaconomics which wondered whether Musk and Swift would “make a cute couple”. He replied with a “crying laughing” emoji.

While Musk has one of the most devoted online fan bases around, the Swiftie Army basically runs the internet, and they were quick to defend their Queen. They Tweeted as Musk “you stay away from her” and that he needed to go to “horny jail,” which is a term used whenever someone is being overly lascivious about a celebrity, and needs to take it down a few notches. (It’s the modern equivalent of telling someone to take a cold shower.)

But Musk seemed to take it all in stride, if this Tweet is any indication.
