Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is once again losing her mind over Elon Musk, and this might be the dumbest one yet.
AOC took to X, owned by Musk, to present her opinion on the “five alarm fire” that is the billionaire reportedly having access to classified material as part of his work in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Look:
This is a five alarm fire.
The people elected Donald Trump to be President – not Elon Musk.
Having an unelected billionaire, with his own foreign debts and motives, raiding US classified information is a grave threat to national security.
This should not be a partisan issue. https://t.co/OkEfM1n1Ga

“This is a five alarm fire. The people elected Donald Trump to be President – not Elon Musk. Having an unelected billionaire, with his own foreign debts and motives, raiding US classified information is a grave threat to national security. This should not be a partisan issue,” she wrote.
In another hair-on-fire tweet, she called it a “plutocratic coup.”
If this operation is so legit, why can’t those involved get a proper security clearance? Offer transparency to the American people?
This is a plutocratic coup. If you want the power, run for office and be chosen by the people.
Short of that, this is an exercise in vigilantism. https://t.co/za2lwB8A7N

X users couldn’t wait to lay into the progressive lawmaker:
Any bets @AOC shows up in the USAID roster?
With the US being tens of trillions in debt, there should be NO U.S. Agency for International Development.

Sandy, why is the process more bothersome to you than the actual fraud, corruption and borderline money laundering?!?

That’s not how our government works. We elected Trump. He is doing what we voted for him to do.
DOGE is literally hosting an space tonight revealing their finding.
Why does AOC want corruption to stay in the dark?

This is EXACTLY what the American people voted for.

Why do you call for transparency when it comes to people trying to expose what the government did and is doing, but not transparency from the government who classified and is hiding the documents they’re accessing from the public?

You need an exorcism.

If it’s truly US AID for humanitarian reasons why would this be classified?….wouldn’t we be proud to show how many starving kids we have fed? ….unless we are feeding politicians & bureaucrats….or something else?
