A Cuban woman living in Hialeah sparked a significant uproar on social media after posting a TikTok video featuring a Tesla Cybertruck parked in front of a house in Lago Grande, Hialeah. In the video, Claudia A. Cancino (@____clauangeline____ on TikTok) remarked, "Living in Hialeah in Lago Grande and with a Cybertruck, please, people, move." The young woman faced a barrage of criticism, with many labeling her as envious.
In response to the negative comments, Claudia clarified that her video was intended to be humorous and that she is entitled to her opinion about the images. "I received a lot of negative comments about a Cybertruck being in Hialeah, Lago Grande. I didn't think people would be so mean to call me envious. I did it because I'm Cuban, I'm not from this country, I came here to move forward for myself and my family. In my opinion, I'd rather have a good house with rooms and comfort than have the latest car," said the Cuban woman, emphasizing that she would prefer to invest in a comfortable home rather than a new model car, a stance she believes is personal and should not be subject to criticism.
"It's not my problem, but we're in a free country where we can say what we want and not be criticized for it," she asserted, addressing those who attacked her with sexist comments. "They also told me to find a husband. I don't need a man to get what I want. I work, and what I want, I get for myself by working and hustling," she added. Finally, the Cuban woman urged those who disagree with her point of view to unfollow her. "I can share my point of view and have my opinion, and as I said, everyone can have the car they want, but I prefer to have a good house rather than a car. There's no envy; what I want, I can have," she concluded.
Many supported this Cuban woman in the comments. "It's part of being on social media, a sign people noticed you. Success!" "It's great that you have that maturity and don't fall into what is happening here in Miami, all appearances, beautiful," "I love how you think. The rest comes after having your own house. The rest is secondary. Well, in my humble opinion!!!!" and "Everyone spends their money as they want," said some users.
