Cardi B has fired back at Elon Musk after he criticized her on social media, mentioning her struggles and the challenges faced by many in America.

The exchange took place on X, formerly known as Twitter, where Musk shared his thoughts about the Kamala Harris campaign, suggesting a lack of authenticity and genuine empathy.

His tweet read, “Another puppet who can’t even talk without being fed the words.

The Kamala campaign has no authenticity or true empathy.”

In response, Cardi B did not hold back. She asserted her identity and experience, stating, “I’m not a puppet Elon.

I’m the daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their asses 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 anything about that.

You don’t know not one thing about the American struggle. PS fix my algorithm.”

Cardi’s response reflects her journey from humble beginnings to becoming a global superstar.

Born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar in the Bronx, New York, she grew up in a challenging environment.

Her parents immigrated to the United States from the Dominican Republic and Trinidad, facing significant hardships to provide for their family.

This background has shaped Cardi’s perspective on social issues, including poverty, housing insecurity, and the challenges that many American families face.

Her mention of “welfare” and “section 8” points to the government assistance programs designed to help low-income families afford housing and meet basic needs.

Cardi has previously expressed her support for various social causes, including the Black Lives Matter movement and health care reform.
