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.
You are blatantly a ChatGPT account posting pro-Musk trite. Get in the sea and don’t come back.
This is the new ad-hominem of 2025. Can’t refute someone’s points? It must be evil AI.
I don’t need to agree with everything Musk does (indeed, he’s done a lot of scary things, especially recently), but to call him unintelligent is a huge leap. For what he has done for space travel ALONE he deserves a lot of credit. Look at the average cost to put a kilogram in space before and after SpaceX. Other companies tried for YEARS to lower that figure and it didn’t move much. But sure, go ahead and dunk on him if you like. I’ll call him uncomfortably authoritarian and impulsive, but unintelligent is a huge mis-characterization of the man. Not everyone that makes choices you don’t agree with are unintelligent…
Your writing style is extremely LLM-y, and you’re currently posting paragraphs of text praising the richest person on the planet currently gifting the entire US economy. So forgive me for accusing you of being a pro-Musk LLM. I guess you’re just a pro-Musk moron instead.
Here’s a hint - when someone you admire does stuff like Nazi salutes and pose genuine threats to the US constitution, you’re allowed to stop admiring that person.
Who said anything about admiring? It seems you don’t like Musk. Well, if you want to criticize him in an accurate way, calling him unintelligent isn’t the way to do it. Factual criticism usually works the best. “Know thy enemy” and all that. It would be like if I called him a fatso… it’s demeaning, but probably not the most accurate criticism.
