Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called Elon Musk “one of the most unintelligent billionaires” she has ever met.

She criticized DOGE for placing unqualified 19-year-olds in Treasury positions and failing to do “their homework.”

Musk’s team has accessed the Treasury’s $6 trillion payment system, raising security concerns. Ocasio-Cortez warned of his “lack of intelligence and expertise,” calling him “morally vacant.”

DOGE has also shut down USAID and moved it under the State Department.

    I honestly think she has a real chance, TBH, although I can see the two cases where misogyny helped donvict into office…

    I’m sure the cons and “liberal media” would do everything possible to paint her as the second coming of Karl Marx, though…even if most Americans actually agree with her policy positions on nearly everything, when you poll people on the issues.

    But many Americans still think that Hillary (!) is some kind of radical leftist. Or that Obama is. Or that Biden is, or Kamala…after a while, trying to paint every single candidate as a Deep State radical Marxist fascist Communist socialist globalist (and every other stupid term they use with zero understanding of words) is going to wear off but still she has a HOOHAA is not white, so…

      Hilary Clinton was the victim of a twenty plus year campaign to paint her as a bad choice for POTUS despite being one of the most qualified candidates in history.

      In a slightly saner world she would be nobrainer. Smart, young, active, has enormous support base. In current US political climate being smart and young is a disadvantage and being a woman is a political suicide, unless you’re very, very conservative.
