        That’s the same argument Musk made though. Why is it more valid for Swift than it is for Musk?

          Last I checked, not a lot of people are looking to kidnap and rape Musk for their Tater-tot incel fantasies.

            You should check again cause I’m sure there are more than a few people who’d do whatever it took to get their hands on Muskys gold. Including rape and kidnapping.

          No, he just felt entitled to no one knowing. There aren’t a bunch of Republicans (or in his case Democrats) in government and unhinged MAGA-types (or a left equivalent) spreading conspiracies about how he’s a government plant or part of some psyop or whatever. It doesn’t even compare. People just don’t like Musk and he has no skin. Nor do his fanboys for that matter.

          Like this is a temporary state of affairs most likely. So I feel like as a good gesture the student could pause this until the election is over. But it sounds like you’re just really concerned with some perceived hypocrisy over how people treated Musk.

        How ever will the billionaire protect herself?

        Transparency and shaming selfish polluters is more important.

        She has enough money, I’m sure she could afford a pair of FA-18E Super Hornets to escort her. And once she’s on the ground, get driven around in a Leopard 2A5.

        I guess what I’m saying is, Taylor Swift should be armed to the fucking teeth. Reaper drones, CIWS, tactical warheads, nuclear submarines, the whole nine.

          Yeah, not like someone who puts on big productions where people travel to see her is unfamiliar with personal security. And if she wanted her travel plans to be private, she could fly commercial or charter. Last I checked, there are companies that keep who their passenger lists quiet.
