Summary
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called Elon Musk a “leech on the public” in their ongoing feud, criticizing his role leading federal cuts.
Her comments responded to Musk’s Joe Rogan podcast appearance where he called Social Security “the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time” and falsely claimed millions of dead people receive benefits.
AOC previously labeled Musk a “billionaire conman” after DOGE-led layoffs at the FDA’s medical devices division, questioning his expertise and suggesting government waste reduction should start with examining his Pentagon defense contracts.
I would never recommend Twitter to normal people, but she’s a politician, she has to go where the people are.
I would argue she should be encouraging people to use Mastodon, but the fact is most people currently on Fediverse either already agree with her positions or think she’s “lib controlled opposition.”
A politician is not a salesman.
There are no excuses to not even have a mastodon account. If you have million of followers encouraging them to move off centralized and proprietary social networks is one of the greatest actions you can take.
JFC, just stop. You gonna hurt yourself in your confusion.
A politician is literally a sales person.
They are literally selling their political vision to their voters.
It’s really difficult to say something so stupid in such a smug way, but you pulled it off.
Yea that got me laughing
