Elon Musk issues warning to Taylor Swift as singer is crowned Person of the Year: ‘I speak from experience’

Elon Musk has issued a warning to Taylor Swift after the singer was crowned Person of the Year by Time magazine.

After being named the winner of the award for 2023, Swift took to Twitter to thank the magazine’s West Coast Editor, Sam Lansky, who wrote the piece in tribute to the star’s standout year.

While she has received numerous accolades and awards throughout a glittering career in pop music, 2023 has been a particularly successful year for the vocalist, as she launched her much-anticipated Eras Tour.

However, Musk, who is the owner of X, formerly Twitter, issued an ominous warning to the star, having scooped the award for Person of the Year himself in 2021.

Swift initially posted on X to thank Lansky for his glowing appraisal of the singer’s year, as she responded: ‘@samlansky has such a wondrous way with words, and I’ve loved reading his pieces for over a decade. If you’ve ever been around him, you know he’s just the best type of person: Curious. Interested. Hilarious. Intriguing and intrigued.

‘I have trust issues when it comes to interviews but I couldn’t be happier that I did this one with him. I was blown away to see quotes from people I adore and admire like Stevie Nicks, Greta Gerwig, Shonda Rhimes, Phoebe Bridgers, Natalie Maines, Kenny Chesney, and Lucian Grainge.

‘I was so happy he spoke to fans Madison and McCall who were so eloquent, loyal, and kind. I’m really reflecting on this year, and all the years that led up to it. Can’t say thank you enough times,’ she added.

Her tribute to Lansky and other celebrity figures drew a response from Musk, who replied to congratulate her with the comment ‘congrats’, before adding: ‘Some risk of popularity decline after this award. I speak from experience.’

Other users refuted that Swift’s popularity could decline in the wake of her winning the award in reply to Musk’s comments.

One user wrote: ‘No never. Her music is timeless.’

A second posted: ‘No way! I think its even higher than ever’.

Another retorted: ‘Yours definitely went way down’.

A fourth added: ‘Recognition and awards can sometimes bring challenges, including the risk of popularity decline. It’s not uncommon for increased visibility to attract varying opinions.’

Trans men and lesbians would get IVF priority two years ahead of heterosexual couples under NHS plan – as campaigners slam proposals as  ‘grossly discriminatory’

Family campaigners have criticised as ‘grossly discriminatory’ plans to give trans men and lesbians access to NHS-funded IVF two years ahead of heterosexual couples. Under the controversial proposals, trans men – those born as women who now identify as men – will be automatically assumed to be unable to conceive, as will lesbians and single women. This means they will be immediately eligible for IVF on the NHS – costing an estimated £5,000 a cycle – if they meet the other criteria, such as a body mass index between 19 and 30, not smoking, being under 43 and not having a partner with a child from a previous relationship.
