Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Hurls Choice Slang At Elon Musk For 'Conspiracy Theory'
HuffPost
The progressive lawmaker sarcastically urged Musk to try a new tack.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) taunted Elon Musk on the social platform he owns Sunday. “Someone’s butthurt,” she wrote on X.
The term means to be upset or offended in a “way that is silly or unreasonable” ― and the progressive lawmaker gleefully applied the label to President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency hatchet man.
Musk seconded a claim shared by right-wing host Mario Nawfal that a Denver rally last week featuring Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was attended by essentially professional left-wing protesters from funded organizations. The right-wing influencer cited supposed GPS data, which he also used to question the reported crowd size.
“The Dems just move around the same group of paid ‘protesters,’” Musk wrote.
“Someone’s butthurt,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote back. “At the very least you can find a new, more interesting conspiracy theory to peddle.”
