Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed this week that Elon Musk, the CEO of multiple highly successful companies, was not a smart person.
AOC made the remarks in a video she posted on Instagram as Musk helps Trump eliminate wasteful government spending via the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
“This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or seen or witnessed,” AOC said.
“They don’t do their homework, clearly, like, they’re putting 19-year-olds in at the treasury,” she claimed. “This dude is not smart. And the danger in the lack of intelligence and the lack of expertise that Elon has … I mean, this guy is one of the most morally vacant, but also just least knowledgeable about these systems that we really know of.”
“But the point is that what that means is that they’re going to hit a button, inevitably, they are going to hit a button and things can go sideways,” she said.

Imagine calling @ElonMusk — the world’s richest man and a trailblazer in rockets, flamethrowers, and electric cars — “unintelligent.”

AOC’s remarks come after Musk has repeatedly taunted and mocked her on social media.
Ocasio-Cortez’s latest attack on Musk comes after she accused him of making a Nazi salute at an inaugural celebration event last month.
“I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind a presidential seal,” she said. “In this country, we hate Nazis.”
“I like, you’re gonna do a Sieg Heil, you’re going to do a Heil Hitler … from behind the presidential seal of the United States of America?” she continued. “It’s on! It’s on!”
