Elon Musk has drawn the ire of Taylor Swift fans with a series of unusual posts about the singer-songwriter.
The CEO who divides Twitter and Tesla shared comments with his followers on his social media site as the Swift began his new Eras tour in Arizona.
Musk commented under a tweet from Dogecoin founder Billy Markus, which read, “Taylor Swift rules and if you don’t agree you’ll be kicked off the internet I’m pretty sure.”
“His limbic resonance talent is outstanding,” Musk replied.
“Limbic resonance” refers to the notion that a person’s ability to share deep emotional states comes from the limbic system of the brain.
Musk also responded directly to a tweet from Swift’s official account, which included four images of the singer on stage.
The 51-year-old billionaire responded to the posting with a “cigarette” emoji, apparently implying that he thought Swift was “smoking.”
In another tweet, Musk reacted to a post from a user called “Teslaconomics,” who asked if Musk and Swift “would make a cute couple.” He replied with a “crying laughing” emoji.
Swift fans have been repelled by Musk’s displays of admiration for the artist, with many writing that he should “go to jail”.
“Stay away from her,” one person wrote, while another commented, “Elon Musk better leave Taylor Swift alone man.”

“I don’t know what a limbic resonance skill is, but I’ll work on mine as soon as I find out,” one person joked.
The Independent contacted a representative of Elon Musk for a comment.

Swift’s tour opening night garnered rave reviews from critics and audiences alike, including The Independentis Kelsey Barnes.
In a five-star review, she wrote, “In the 44-song setlist that spans three hours and 15 minutes, [Swift] shows why the concept of “period” is so integral to who she is. Each chapter marks a specific change in his art.
“There is a palpable excitement at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The costumes are adorned with hand-painted lyrics; the faces are shiny with sequins; the hands are covered with Swift’s lucky number 13. The fans I talk to say the concert feels like “coming home”.
