Grammy Award-winning rapper Cardi B has slammed the world’s richest man – South Africa’s Elon Musk.
This, after the businessman called her out for her speech advocating for Kamala Harris in a political rally ahead of the upcoming elections.
Unlike Cardi, Elon was not born in the US after he left his home country for work and study purposes.
The 53-year-old boasts three citizenships: South African, Canadian, and American.
CARDI B SLAMS WORLD’S RICHEST MAN
Over the weekend, Cardi B was invited to speak in support of Kamala Harris – the Democrat’s presidential elect – at a political rally in Wisconsin.
However, her speech did not go without glitches, as the rapper experienced technical difficulties due to a faulty teleprompter.
Outspoken Donald Trump supporter Elon Musk reacted to a clip of Cardi struggling, tweeting: “Another puppet who can’t even talk without being fed the words. The Kamala campaign has no authenticity or true empathy”.
WHERE WAS ELON MUSK BORN?
Elon Musk – who has backed Donald Trump to win the upcoming US elections – left SA in 1989 at the age of 18 years old to move to Canada, his mother Maye Musk’s country of birth.
He moved to the US in 1995 to pursue his studies. The Pretoria-born man then went on to establish several lucrative businesses in his adoptive country, including Tesla, SpaceX, PayPal and the Boring Company.
Earlier this week, current US president Joe Biden called Elon an “illegal foreigner” who worked in the US without a permit.
Clapping back at Biden, Elon tweeted: “I was, in fact, allowed to work in the US. I was on a J-1 visa that transitioned to an H1-B. They know this, as they have all my records.
Throwing shade at the 81-year-old, Elon added: “Losing the election is making them desperate.”
