‘NOT SMART’: Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slams Elon Musk in viral social media rant as his DOGE efforts look to rid government waste. The ‘Squad’ lawmaker called the billionaire one of the “least knowledgeable” about the inner workings of Washington.

In a recent Instagram Live session, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Elon Musk, labeling him as “one of the most unintelligent billionaires” she has encountered. She expressed concerns over Musk’s role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an initiative aimed at reducing government spending and eliminating waste. Ocasio-Cortez argued that Musk lacks the necessary expertise and intelligence to lead such efforts, describing him as “morally vacant” and “least knowledgeable” about governmental systems.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was conceived during discussions between Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump, focusing on streamlining government operations and cutting federal expenditures. Musk has proposed ambitious goals for DOGE, including reducing federal spending by up to $2 trillion through measures such as eliminating redundant agencies and downsizing the federal workforce.

Ocasio-Cortez’s remarks have sparked a range of reactions. Critics have mocked her for questioning Musk’s intelligence, highlighting his achievements with companies like SpaceX and Tesla. Supporters, however, share her concerns about Musk’s influence over government operations and the potential implications of DOGE’s initiatives.

This exchange is part of a broader debate over the role of private sector leaders in government reform and the balance between efficiency and democratic accountability.
