He has amplified inaccurate claims that Western countries are experiencing a population collapse and argued he is &#8220;doing my part&#8221; to combat it.<\/p>\n<p>Musk critics and Swift supporters derided Musk\u2019s remarks as &#8220;sexist, controversial,&#8221; and &#8220;creepy.&#8221; Vanity Fair characterized the post as &#8220;a disturbing sexual comment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One person who hasn\u2019t responded?

(Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and Threads.)<\/p>\n<p>PolitiFact found no evidence that Kelce, who earned his degree in 2022 from the University of Cincinnati, wrote those things. Using an advanced search on X, we looked for posts from his handle, @tkelce, and for the phrase &#8220;actually play football,&#8221; and found no results. As of Sept. 13 at 3 p.m. ET, Kelce\u2019s X account showed no posts or replies since Sept. 9.<\/p>\n<p>We contacted Kelce and received no response before publication.<\/p>\n<p>The language from the alleged Kelce post is copied from an inside joke that stems from &#8220;trash talk between a Baltimore Orioles fan&#8221; and someone behind the baseball blog TalkNats.com, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported. The only difference is that the fake Kelce post says &#8220;football&#8221; instead of &#8220;baseball.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The earliest appearance online of the screenshot that we could find using a reverse image search was shared by X user @theABinKC, who told PolitiFact in a direct message that he created the fake screenshot.<\/p>\n<p>Like Kelce, Swift has not publicly responded to Musk\u2019s X post.<\/p>\n<p>When accepting an award at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sept. 11, however, Swift again urged people to register to vote.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Taylor Swift reminds fans to register to vote \u27a1\ufe0f VoteVoteVote.com #VMAs\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DNYZOWGdFyc?start=1&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Swift endorsed President Joe Biden in 2020 with a platter of cookies bearing the Biden-Harris campaign logo.
