Calling Kamala a Puppet, Cardi B Fires Back at Elon Musk!
The U.S. election heat has extended beyond the political field, igniting tensions in the entertainment and tech worlds. In a verbal clash that has drawn widespread attention, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and American singer-rapper Cardi B have locked horns.
Elon Musk, born into a wealthy South African family, is the son of Errol Musk, a partial owner of a Zambian emerald mine. Cardi B, on the other hand, was born in Washington Heights, New York, to a Dominican father and a Trinidadian mother.
According to India’s Economic Times, the dispute began when Musk took a jab at Cardi in the context of the U.S. elections. He posted a video of her on X (formerly Twitter), where she seemed to struggle while reading from a teleprompter.
In the post, Musk expressed his annoyance, writing, "Another puppet who can only repeat what’s fed to them," indirectly calling Cardi a "puppet of Kamala," as well as criticizing Kamala Harris.
Cardi B didn’t hold back in her response. On X, she fired back at Musk’s “Kamala’s puppet” jab, writing, “I am no puppet, Elon... I'm the daughter of immigrant parents who had to work their a**es off to raise me!”
She went on to say, "I’m a product of welfare, of Section 8 housing, of poverty—and my life is the complete opposite of yours."
Addressing Musk directly, Cardi concluded, “But you wouldn’t know anything about that. You know nothing about the struggles Americans face.” She added a postscript for him: “Note to self, adjust my algorithm.”
Notably, in the upcoming U.S. presidential election on November 5, Elon Musk has shown support for Republican Donald Trump, while Cardi B is backing Democrat Kamala Harris. This has set the stage for a feud between these two prominent figures from very different worlds.
