Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denied claims that she is secretly wealthy, stating she is worth less than $500,000 and doesn’t trade stocks or take corporate money.
Her financial disclosures show modest savings and student debt.
Some conservatives on X, despite opposing her politics, praised her perceived integrity.
Accusations of political corruption have surged online, partly fueled by Elon Musk.
We’re talking net worth, not income.
I have a few hundred thousand in the bank, and I’m very aware that most of my friends and family consider me rich.
Dude… what do you think net worth is? Her income is higher than mine.
Oh, you are a bougie asshole trying to slum it down here with us then and you still can’t read a damn article.
Complaining about a 125K 401K makes you rich.
That 175K annual income makes you rich.
Complaining we’re all out of touch with poor people.
And you’re just a bougie asshole playing pauper for the day.
And probably lying about that too.
