Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined fellow Democrats in ranting about the “five alarm fire” that is Elon Musk.
The democrat socialist from New York threw a tantrum on social media as she joined the rest of the left melting down over Musk’s role in President Donald Trump’s administration.
In a series of posts on X, Ocasio-Cortez warned of national security threats as Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) targeted corruption and waste in the federal government. She earned plenty of backlash from X users for her seeming defense of the unelected bureaucrats wasting the hard-earned money of Americans.
“The people elected Donald Trump to be President – not Elon Musk,” she wrote in words echoed by other Democrats evidently reading from the same script.
This is a five alarm fire.
The people elected Donald Trump to be President – not Elon Musk.
Having an unelected billionaire, with his own foreign debts and motives, raiding US classified information is a grave threat to national security.
This should not be a partisan issue. https://t.co/OkEfM1n1Ga

“Having an unelected billionaire, with his own foreign debts and motives, raiding US classified information is a grave threat to national security,” she continued. “This should not be a partisan issue.”
Responding to reactions, AOC continued her fear-mongering.
“If this operation is so legit, why can’t those involved get a proper security clearance? Offer transparency to the American people?” she demanded.
“This is a plutocratic coup. If you want the power, run for office and be chosen by the people,” she ranted. “Short of that, this is an exercise in vigilantism.”

“If you want to start with waste, start with Elon’s defense contracts at the Pentagon,” she wrote in yet another post.

In fact, we should start with transparency around defense contracts in general, which take up an enormous sum of public funds.
But they won’t do that, will they?

The five-alarm fire turned out to be her own rhetoric as X users gave the lawmaker a brutal reality check.
“Girl, you can sit this one out,” South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace wrote.
“It’s a five-alarm fire—for the Deep State™️,” wrote Utah Sen. Mike Lee. “Because @elonmusk is exposing their chicanery, tomfoolery, and jackassery.”
Have you considered crying about it?

Biden gave George Soros a medal of freedom.
Sit down.

We kind of did elect Elon Musk, and Tulsi, and Kash, and Hegseth, and pretty much everyone you hate. We knew about them, DOGE, and the destruction of the “deep state.” We knew it before we voted.
In other words, we voted for this.
You’re not smart enough for this debate.

Sandy, why is the process more bothersome to you than the actual fraud, corruption and borderline money laundering?!?

Little Sandy is nothing but a joke. She is way too simple to be able to carry on a scintillating conversation at the adult table but still trying.
