Summary

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called Elon Musk a “leech on the public” in their ongoing feud, criticizing his role leading federal cuts.

Her comments responded to Musk’s Joe Rogan podcast appearance where he called Social Security “the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time” and falsely claimed millions of dead people receive benefits.

AOC previously labeled Musk a “billionaire conman” after DOGE-led layoffs at the FDA’s medical devices division, questioning his expertise and suggesting government waste reduction should start with examining his Pentagon defense contracts.
