Both are billionaires and modern politicians, with massive support from primarily their own sex
How do you solve a problem like Elon Musk? Too successful to dismiss, too chaotic to predict, Musk shares a perturbing talent with his frenemy Donald Trump. Both have the knack of signalling by instinct, riling up a fan base on impulse, capturing attention with casual interventions that appear unconsidered but no less politically effective for it. The baser, the better.
For the record, I don’t think this can be classified as a “rape” threat. But what was Musk getting at? Why do he and his male peers hate Taylor Swift quite so much? The answer to these questions speaks to one of the core themes underpinning this American election: the battle of the sexes. If Taylor Swift is the movement’s palatable, mainstream face, Musk is increasingly its most powerful enemy. There has never been a time in the Western world where women have had so many opportunities to flourish: Swift’s songs are all about the joy of this, tempered with her discovery that even if you’re a billionaire woman, men will still find ways to hurt you. Conservative men are horrified by the speed of this change.
Musk, on the other hand, excels at winding up liberals. The sting in his “joke” this week was not a rape threat, so much as a bathetic suggestion that in her heart, all Swift really does want is children and a male provider. That’s why his tweet began “you win” – implying her feminism is all a front.
The obdurate and successful campaign to limit women’s reproductive health care, waged by the Republican Party in the name of the “unborn child”, has drawn parallels with Atwood’s vision of Gilead and undercut Trump’s support amongst women who had previously voted Republican.is the precision with which she imagined how a fundamentalist regime might emerge as a reaction to liberal feminism.
