Elon Musk’s surprising request for Taylor Swift to use his X platform raises eyebrows. Swifties react as the billionaire seeks Swift’s star power amid X’s legal battles.
Taylor Swift’s Anticipated Album Release
In a surprising turn of events on Wednesday, Elon Musk, the owner of X (formerly known as Twitter), made an unexpected appeal to none other than Taylor Swift, one of the world’s most iconic celebrities. Musk’s appeal comes in the midst of Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated album release, “1989 (Taylor’s Version),” scheduled for October 27th, coinciding with the ninth anniversary of the original release. Swift has masterfully built excitement for her album through an intricate teaser campaign, encouraging fans to decode puzzles to reveal the titles of previously unreleased tracks. Just a day ago, she shared these elusive titles and captivating back cover images on social media, expressing her excitement for the album’s impending launch.
Elon Musk’s Unexpected Plea to Taylor Swift
However, Elon Musk’s outreach to Swift was not without intrigue. In response to Swift’s enthusiastic album post, Musk sent a tweet that can only be described as desperate. He suggested that Taylor Swift should consider posting music or concert videos directly on the X platform. Yet, conspicuously absent from Musk’s tweet was any explanation of why a globally successful artist like Swift should opt for X over other established platforms. Musk simply stated, “I recommend posting some music or concert videos directly on the X platform.”
As of now, Taylor Swift has not responded to Musk’s suggestion. The reaction from Swifties, Taylor Swift’s devoted fanbase, has been a mix of bemusement and humor. One fan succinctly remarked, “No one asked, babe,” while another playfully noted, “She’s so powerful she has a literal billionaire looking for clout from her.”
Despite Musk’s hopes of capitalizing on Taylor Swift’s superstar status to bolster X’s prominence, the success of this recommendation remains uncertain. X has been embroiled in legal disputes, with the National Music Publishers Association (NMPA) and its members suing the platform for copyright infringement, involving more than 1,700 songs, in June. David Israelite, the president of NMPA, emphasized that “Twitter stands alone as the largest social media platform that has completely refused to license the millions of songs on its service.” This legal battle predates Musk’s acquisition of the platform, rendering X the only major social media platform without a music licensing agreement. X has recently filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
In a world where Taylor Swift’s every move generates widespread interest, Elon Musk’s attempt to have her post on X seems like a bold move. However, whether it amounts to more than a Hail Mary pass remains uncertain, especially given X’s ongoing legal challenges.
