AOC Faceoff Musk on Immigration and Intellect

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and Elon Musk

An online spat between Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and tech mogul Elon Musk has emerged. Initiated by Musk’s less-than-flattering opinion on AOC’s intelligence, the back-and-forth has grabbed significant attention.

The spark for the dispute was AOC’s Instagram post comparing contemporary New York City immigration to historic waves via Ellis Island, emphasizing that over 12 million individuals had passed through Ellis Island from 1892 to 1954. She intended to provide perspective on the magnitude of the current immigration scenario.

Yet, this parallel drew critique, notably from conservative pundit Ashley St. Clair. Pointing out distinctions between legal Ellis Island entries and the present undocumented southern border crossings, St. Clair’s commentary garnered Elon Musk’s attention, leading to his quip about AOC’s intellect.

AOC’s Spirited Rebuttal

Unwilling to let Musk’s jab go unanswered, AOC highlighted her rise from modest origins to Congressional history as its youngest female member. Referring to her track record, she mentioned spearheading investigations, crafting policy, and pioneering the US Climate Corps for job creation.

She’s just not that smart

Concluding her reply with a bold “Stay mad,” AOC signalled her willingness to stand her ground. In a surprising twist, Musk later retracted his statement, dubbing AOC a “genius.”

I wasn’t born rich and became the youngest woman in American history to be elected to Congress.

Then I investigated Cohen, authored the largest FEMA funeral assistance program in history and led creation of a US Climate Corps to create tens of thousands of new jobs.

Stay mad 💁🏽‍♀️ https://t.co/EDsPGs8Bx6

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) September 27, 2023

I take it back – you’re obviously a genius

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 28, 2023

Throughout this digital exchange, AOC’s tenacity in the face of criticism reaffirms her commitment to engaging in meaningful discussions on pertinent topics.
