Offset criticizes Elon Musk for backing pardon of George Floyd’s killer

Offset and Elon Musk

ffset has fiercely criticized Elon Musk after the tech billionaire shared a video advocating for a pardon of Derek Chauvin, the former police officer convicted of killing George Floyd in 2020.

On March 4, Musk reposted a clip from conservative pundit Ben Shapiro, who launched a campaign urging a presidential pardon for Chauvin. Alongside the video, Musk simply wrote: “Something to think about.”

Unimpressed by Musk’s stance, the Migos rapper took to Instagram to express his anger.

“Racist b***h playin’ in Black folks’ faces,” Offset wrote.

His frustration didn’t stop there—he also hinted at boycotting Tesla.

“Driving Ferrari not Tesla,” he added.

Musk’s apparent support for Chauvin’s pardon has sparked widespread backlash, with many questioning his growing political influence. Given his close ties to President Donald Trump, concerns are mounting over the potential implications.

Recently, Musk has also found himself at odds with several artists, including Offset’s estranged wife, Cardi B.

After Musk criticized Cardi B for supporting Vice President Kamala Harris, calling her “another puppet who can’t even talk without being fed the words,” the rapper fired back on X.

“I’m not a puppet, Elon. I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents who had to work their ass off to provide for me!” she wrote. “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. PS—fix my algorithm!”

Tyler, The Creator, and Eminem have also recently called out Musk over his actions and political endorsements.
