Cardi B is never one to mince words online and X owner Elon Musk just found out the hard way when she dragged him
In response to her appearance at the Milwaukee rally of presidential hopeful Kamala Harris, Musk took to his X account to throw dirt on her political name.
“Another puppet who can’t even talk without being fed the words,” he said. “The Kamala campaign has no authenticity or true empathy.”

A Donald Trump supporter namedropping empathy is truly…something. Social media users quickly came to Cardi‘s defense but she didn’t need it as she was more than ready to clap back.
“I’m not a puppet Elon.. I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their a** off to provide for me!,” she responded. “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.”
Honestly, stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to and get that block list back hidden, Elon!
Cardi kept it real with Harris supporters in Milwaukee, revealing that she originally intended to not vote this election season.
“I did not have faith in any candidates…until she said the things that I wanted to hear,” she said.
But in the end, she saw a similarity between she and Harris that helped seal her decision to publicly endorse her.

“Just like Kamala Harris, I too have been the underdog. I have been underestimated, my success belittled and discredited,” she continued. “Women have to work ten times harder, perform ten times better and still people question how we got to the top. I believe in every word that comes out of her mouth. She’s passionate, she’s compassionate, she shows empathy, and most of all, she’s not delusional.”
This isn’t the first time Cardi has used her celebrity for good in the political sphere. Ahead of the 2020 election, the “Bodak Yellow” rapper sat down with Democratic candidate, Bernie Sanders, to talk about the hot button issues of the time. She endorsed Sanders as “a natural humanitarian” and felt he was the best choice to lead the country. However, the Vermont senator failed to secure the party’s nomination over Joe Biden, who went on to win the election.
