Elon Musk is making headlines for criticizing Hollywood celebrities who support Kamala Harris, including Jennifer Lopez, Eminem, and Cardi B, labeling them as “puppets” and dismissing their endorsements. Harris has received significant backing from stars like Lopez, Beyoncé, and Taylor Swift, with many even appearing at her rallies, creating a wave of celebrity enthusiasm that rivals even Barack Obama’s popularity.
Musk, a staunch Trump supporter, expressed his disdain for this celebrity endorsement surge by targeting Lopez, Cardi B, Eminem, and others, associating them with Sean “Diddy” Combs and his parties. Musk responded to a Trump fan account that shared a clip of Cardi B speaking at a Milwaukee rally for Harris, calling her “another puppet who can’t even talk without being fed the words.” This remark followed an incident at the rally where a teleprompter malfunction required Cardi B to improvise while someone provided her with talking points.
In reaction to Musk’s comments, Cardi B shot back, telling him to “PS fix my algorithm.” She asserted, “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, Section 8, poverty, and what happens when the system is set against you… But you don’t know anything about that. You don’t know one thing about the American struggle.”
Musk also targeted Jennifer Lopez after her condemnation of Trump’s jokes about Puerto Rico during a rally for Harris. He remarked that “the public sees through it” and dismissed the celebrity endorsements, stating, “Even if everyone in music and entertainment supports the Kamala puppet, it won’t matter. The public sees through it.” Musk referred to the celebrities as “Diddy party participants,” linking them to Diddy, who is currently facing serious legal issues.
His criticism extended to Eminem, whom he labeled a “Diddy party participant” after the rapper expressed his support for Harris. This comment came shortly after Eminem introduced Obama at a Detroit rally. Interestingly, Musk once referred to Diddy as his “best friend” and is reportedly tied to him as an investor in his platform X.
Following Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Harris, which many believe could influence the election, Musk responded with a snarky jab, calling her a “childless cat lady” after she made a comment about Trump during a debate. His remark sparked widespread backlash on social media.
