AOC: Musk-Led Attacks on Agencies are “A Plutocratic Coup”

Source: Common Dreams

“Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York took to social media on Sunday to denounce billionaire Elon Musk, who has been tasked with leading the new administration’s effort to slash federal spending and bureaucracy, and is currently working to shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development. In response to reporting that U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration placed two security chiefs at USAID on leave after their refusal to hand over classified materials to Musk’s ‘government-inspection teams,’ per The Associated Press, Ocasio-Cortez on Sunday wrote: ‘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 U.S. classified information is a grave threat to national security.'” [editor’s note: So attacking entrenched Deep State unelected bureaucrats is now “a plutocratic coup?” Honey, you need a vocabulary lesson – SAT] [additional editor’s note: Well, SOMEONE does anyway – TLK] (02/03/25)
