Elon Musk calls Cardi B a 'puppet' of Kamal Harris's campaign. Rapper lashes out: 'You don’t know...'

American rapper and songwriter Cardi B has lashed out at Elon Musk for calling her a "puppet" of Presidential candidate Kamala Harris's campaign. She told the tech billionaire (who is also the richest person in the world) that he knew nothing about the American struggle.

"I’m not a puppet Elon," Cardi wrote on X. "I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their a** off to provide for me! I’m a product of welfare, I’m a product of section 8, I’m a product of poverty and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you…. But you don’t know nothing about that. You don’t know not one thing about the American struggle…. PS fix my algorithm."

Her response came hours after the Donald Trump supporter shared a video of Cardi at the Harris campaign where she fumbled after her teleprompter malfunctioned. "Cardi B's teleprompter was broken and she had no idea what to do for over a minute until someone ran on the stage to give her a phone to read off. Holy embarrassing," the clip was captioned. Musk retweeted the post, adding, "Another puppet who can’t even talk without being fed the words. The Kamala campaign has no authenticity or true empathy."

Social media users, however, did not appear to be convinced.

"Cardi, Elon is not disregarding your hard work and your background. He is merely talking about the fact that the celebrities are endorsing Kamala without even knowing what she is and what she stands for," wrote X user @TheGasStovee. "Hence, he had to bring up this teleprompter scandal because none of those celebrities could speak their hearts out without a teleprompter if they really meant their support. None!"
