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.

    Being privliged isnt being evil. Its when you’re not aware of your own privileges and it affects your decisions (especially as a law maker) that its an issue

        I’m not lecturing people about being poor. I’m calling out the person who is privileged and doesn’t recognize their own privilege
