Cardi B slams Elon Musk for calling her a ‘puppet’ for Kamala Harris

Grammy-winning rapper CardiB hits back at Tesla CEO Elon Musk after calling him a “puppet” for the Kamala Harris campaign.

The singer-songwriter, born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, criticized Musk with her own tweet response: while writing: “I’m not a puppet Elon… I’m the daughter of two immigrant parents who had to work hard to provide for me!
