Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denied claims that she is secretly wealthy, stating she is worth less than $500,000 and doesn’t trade stocks or take corporate money.

Her financial disclosures show modest savings and student debt.

Some conservatives on X, despite opposing her politics, praised her perceived integrity.

Accusations of political corruption have surged online, partly fueled by Elon Musk.

      Lol, no it did not. 3-4 times maybe but she makes $174,000 a year as a member of the house. It’s unlikely she was making half the poverty level of NYC as a bartender.

      Well on her way to beating who? Who is “them all”? Are you claiming she’s making enough to beat Musk, Bezos? Is she hawking golden sneakers and shilling bitcoin scams?
