US Democratic Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris enjoys wide support from Hollywood icons, which has irked Tesla Chief Elon Musk, who has labeled them as mere puppets. In fact, Kamala Harris is basking in the adulation and endorsement from Hollywood personalities, and it has even eclipsed Obama’s star value.
Prominent pop icons have endorsed Kamala’s candidacy, including Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Jennifer Lopez. Kamala also enjoys the support of A-list actors like George Clooney, and many notable personalities have also been in attendance at her rallies.
Elon Musk – diehard Donald Trump supporter
Elon Musk is a diehard Trump supporter and is irked by the surge of celebrity backing for Kamala. He has come out all guns blazing at Lopez, Cardi B, Eminem, and others. Musk has derided their endorsements and even charged them with being a part of the disgraced music baron Diddy and his parties.
Talking about Cardi B, who appeared at one of the Democratic Presidential nominee’s rallies, Elon Musk stated, “Another puppet who can’t even talk without being fed the words.”
“The Kamala campaign has no authenticity or true empathy,” he tweeted.
LMAO 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. pic.twitter.com/BRl8xGP72e

The SpaceX CEO made this statement in response to a Trump fan account that shared a clip of Cardi B during her appearance at a Milwaukee rally for the vice president.
Interestingly, in her headline at Harris’ Milwaukee rally, Cardi B faced a teleprompter malfunction, which led to her stopping her address before someone handed her a phone containing her speech points.
Elon Musk further added, “The Kamala campaign has no authenticity or true empathy,” labeling the situation as “embarrassing.”
Cardi B Reacts to Musk’s Diatribe
Cardi B is not a person who would take Elon Musk’s remarks lightly. After her appearance at Harris’ rally, she said, “PS fix my algorithm. I’m not a puppet, Elon. I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents who 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 one thing about the American struggle.”

Cardi B also talked about women’s rights and said, “Just like Kamala Harris, I too have been the underdog, I’ve been 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 question how we got to the top. I can’t stand a bully, but just like Kamala, I always stand up to one.”
This is not the first time that Elon Musk has launched a diatribe against Hollywood celebrities. Back in October, he locked horns with Eminem and stated that he was a participant of Diddy and his infamous parties after Eminem voiced his support for Harris.
Diddy is presently in jail and has been charged with sex trafficking and racketeering. He is well-known for throwing wild parties that are often linked to controversies since the participants include a slew of high-profile names. Interestingly, Elon Musk had called Diddy his ‘best friend’ at one point, who is also reportedly an investor in his X.
