The American congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has launched a scathing attack against Elon Musk, calling it “probably one of the most little intelligent billionaires that I have known or seen or witnessed.” The comment came during a heated Instagram live session Mondays.
Mrs. Ocasio-Cortez, 35, spoke about the influence of the CEO of Tesla, particularly in the efforts to reform government spending. “This guy is one of the most vacancies, but also less knowledgeable about these systems we know,” he said.
Mrs. Ocasio-Cortez, who used to own a Tesla car, has had a history of public disagreements with Musk, particularly about her government efficiency department (Doge). This team has been examining government spending, which has caused strong criticism of the Democrats.
Last week, Dege obtained access to the federal payment system to help with its review, a movement that many Democrats considered controversial. Mrs. Ocasio-Cortez was particularly critical with the participation of young employees, saying: “They do not do their homework, clearly,” and added that 19-year-olds were being placed in key positions in the department of the Treasury.
In the 90-minute Instagram session, Mrs. Ocasio-Cortez continued her criticism, accusing Mr. Musk to overcome her influence on government and politics.
They have also faced before, with Musk joking in 2023 that he would not go out with him and added that she “was not so intelligent.”
Democrats have also expressed their frustration with Musk and the efforts of the Trump administration to review government agencies, sometimes without the approval of the congress. Mrs. Ocasio-Cortez even pointed to the relationship between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump, which suggests: “Donald Trump has completely renounced his power and has given Elon Musk a lot.”
During the last week, Musk and President Trump have attacked the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Tesla CEO calls it “criminal organization”, which should “close.”
On Tuesday, Musk responded to a position on government spending in public schools in the country. A post X said: “The Department of Education began operating in 1980. The data reveals the total cost of K-Through-12 education for a single student, adjusted by inflation. It has increased from $ 57,602 in 1970 to $ 164,426 in 2010. “

Mrs. Musk reacted to the position, questioning the mass increase in spending after the education department “without a real improvement in education” was created.
This has now led many wondering if the Department of Education was next in the Radar of Musk and President Trump.
