Elonstalwart Donald Trump supporter, recently took a dig at Cardi B. “Another puppet who can’t even speak without being fed words,” Elon said in a quote-tweet replying to a Trump fan account. The account posted a clip of the Bodak Yellow singer performing at a rally in Milwaukee in support of the vice president and presidential candidate.

He was apparently referring to Cardi B experiencing a teleprompter malfunction during Milwaukee rally, which had her stalling for time until someone handed her a phone with her talking points.

Reacting to the same, Cardi B shared, “I’m not Elon’s puppet… I’m the daughter of two immigrant parents who had to work their butts 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 rigged against you… But you don’t know anything about it. You don’t know anything about American wrestling… PS fix my algorithm,” she added.

Elon was born in South Africa into a wealthy family. His father Errol Musk is said to have owned a partial stake in an emerald mine in Zambia.

She said: “Like Kamala Harris, I too was an outsider, underestimated, my success belittled and discredited. Let me tell you something: women have to work ten times harder, perform ten times better, and still people wonder how we got to the top. I can’t stand bullies, but like Kamala, I always fight back.”
