A video posted on TikTok by the user @descubriend0cuba has created significant buzz on social media by featuring a Cuban in the city of Holguín showcasing a luxury Cadillac.
In the images, the man is seen getting out of the vehicle with a big smile, wearing a black t-shirt and a wide-brimmed hat, while the video carries the phrase: "Living in Cuba like a king."
The clip has sparked surprise and divided opinions among internet users, many of whom question how someone can own a luxury car in a country where the majority of Cubans face blackouts, shortages, and insufficient salaries to cover basic needs.
The Cadillac, a symbol of luxury and purchasing power in the United States, contrasts sharply with the economic reality of the island, where access to such cars is restricted and their price can exceed that of an average home.
The video has gone viral on platforms like TikTok and Facebook, where some users mock the message of the video's creator, pointing out that "living like a king" in Cuba is a privilege reserved for a select few with access to dollars or connections to those in power.
