Cardi B and Elon Musk: A Clash of Words
Milwaukee, USAMon Nov 04 2024
Cardi B, a popular rapper, recently got into a heated exchange with Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX. It all started when Cardi B spoke at a rally for Kamala Harris. She criticized former President Donald Trump and praised Harris. Elon Musk, a big supporter of Trump, called Cardi B a "puppet" for Harris. He said she couldn't speak without being fed words. This was because Cardi B had a slight pause at the start of her speech due to a teleprompter glitch.
Cardi B didn't take Musk's comment lightly. She responded on X, denying being a puppet. She talked about her immigrant parents who worked hard to provide for her. She also mentioned growing up in poverty and using government assistance. She said Musk doesn't understand the struggles of everyday Americans. Cardi B even asked Musk to fix her algorithm on X, as he owns the platform.
This isn't the first time Musk has called someone a puppet. He's a strong supporter of Trump and has donated a lot of money to his campaign. Musk also started a contest where voters in swing states could win a $1 million prize, but it's been criticized as an illegal lottery.
