New York Rep.  , Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , described , Elon Musk , as terrible and immoral , in an Instagram video condemning the businessman Trump surrogate’s role in , dismantling state agencies , like , USAID.
According to the 14th congressional district agent, she’s met rich people who are a lot more remarkable than the world’s richest person.
Ocasio-Cortez made fun of the ignorant billionaires I’ve ever met, seen, or witnessed in her picture.
After Musk reportedly spent , nearly$ 300 million  , to get Trump and his MAGA movement back into office, the president tasked his megadonor with heading a department to cut government spending. Ocasio-Cortez and other critics worry that this will result in the abolition of significant service and tax breaks for the wealthy.
She contended Monday evening that Musk and his , fresh team , of companions “don’t do their research” and have no knowledge of the organisations they’re impacting.
” This dude is not smart”, she said of the entrepreneur whose involvement in electric cars and space exploration make him worth , more than$ 400 billion.
Ocasio-Cortez cited next year ‘s , temporary freeze , on Medicaid sites is an example of what you go wrong if people like Musk and his tech-world sycophants are allowed to tweak in devices she claims they don’t know.
According to the 35-year-old senator, Musk’s “lack of intelligence”, “lack of experience” and “morally unfilled” approach to such methods will continue being dangerous.
In 2023, Musk and Ocasio-Cortez exchanged barbs when she claimed that X had become a abuse hotspot after he took control of the social media platform previously known as Twitter.
” Ergo something doth opposition to many …”  , Musk replied, paraphrasing , William Shakespeare.
At a political rally in November, Musk bragged about cutting$ 2 trillion in national spending. He ‘s , since admitted , that cutting quarter that much would be an achievement.
