AOC calls Elon Musk a ‘leech’ on the public as their tit-for-tat feud continues

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called Elon Musk a 'leech on the public' in response to his criticism of Social Security, stating, 'No matter how many billions he gets in tax cuts and government contracts, it will never be enough for him.'
Ocasio-Cortez argued that Musk's influence led to the abrupt cancellation of bipartisan pharmacy benefit manager reforms, which had broad support in Congress.
Musk falsely claimed that 'millions and millions of people over 100 years old' receive Social Security benefits, contradicting a report that found only 1% of payments were improper.
Ocasio-Cortez argued that Musk’s power over political decisions threatens democratic governance, saying, 'Whether you’re a Democrat or you’re a Republican, everyone here was elected to be accountable to the people.
