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.
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.
The argument that the Butcher of Libya would have run the machinery of empire much more competently than Trump isn’t an argument in her favor. I still wouldn’t be able to bring myself to vote for Trump for harm reduction, but calling her qualified to hold a position which every holder in modern history has done things we hanged nazis for isn’t the argument you think it is.
