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.

      And always has been. He’s a snake oil salesman who has never built a product someone wants to buy in his life. When his creativity is given room (aka the Cybertruck) it’s overwhelmingly unsuccessful.

      His start was in PayPal where he was just a money guy with stupid ideas that kept getting shot down. It’s why he owns x.com he’d wanted to rebrand PayPal to X after the PayPal brand became well entrenched (which was an absolutely awful idea).

    Whatever debatable intelligence he once had is gone, fried by drugs and huffing Xitter.

        Oh wow, this part of the wiki is either just a perfect match or a sign of trolling:

        Fumito Ichinose and Shesa Jobisnifa, both anesthesia specialists from Boston who conducted a study on the effects of hydrogen sulfide gas, or “sewer gas,” on mice…

    His dock doesn’t float, his wonder fuel is a disaster, his grasp of disruption theory is remedial at best, he didn’t design the puzzle boxes, he didn’t write the mystery and voila, it all adds up, the key to this entire case, and it was staring me right in the face. Like everyone in the world I assumed that Elon Musk was a complicated genius. But why?

      How many has she met, and why is she meeting them outside of hearings?

      Edit: looks like the quote was cut off for no reason:

      “This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or seen or witnessed,” she said

      Definitely a better way of phrasing it.
