AOC Claims Elon Musk is ‘Not a Scientist or Engineer’ — Insists He is Just a ‘Con Man With a Lot of Money’ (VIDEO)
Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) once again questioned Elon Musk’s intellectual credentials.
The New York Congresswoman made the remarks during a committee hearing on Monday as Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues to expose fraud and waste across the federal government.
AOC ranted:
DOGE did not exist two years ago. Nineteen-year-olds were not raiding the treasury two years ago.
People who have no idea with medical background have not been hauling in and creating kangaroo courts for scientists to dismiss them two years ago. That started happening now.
Elon Musk is not a scientist. He is not an engineer. He is a billionaire con man with a lot of money. He does not have this kind of good background.
In fact, while there is some disruption over that, I sincerely ask you all to examine what expertise he has in approving medical devices, in biomedical engineering devices.
And if you all think that he is an expert in that, I’ve got a bridge to nowhere to sell you.
While it is true that Musk is not a formally trained engineer, he has a degree in physics from the University of Pennsylvania.
This, by definition, makes him a scientist.
His companies are also at the cutting edge of science and engineering.
As well as being the wealthiest man in history, Musk has also revolutionized industries such as automotive and space travel and is also working on solutions to issues such as paralysis that he hopes to cure with his brain implant company Neuralink.
Yet according to AOC, this is all just one big scam!
Despite the ludicrous nature of her suggestion, the Democratic Party obviously believes her comments are on the money after sharing the clip on their X account.

It is not the first time that AOC has suggested that Elon Musk lacks the necessary intellect to have such influence over the American government.
Last month, she described Musk as “one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or seen or witnessed.”
“This dude is not smart, and the danger in the lack of intelligence and the lack of expertise that Elon has,” she said during an Instagram Live video.
”I mean, this guy is one of the most morally vacant, but also just least knowledgeable about these systems that we know of.”
