Ocasio-Cortez dismisses Musk's accusations of paid protesters

U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently fired back at Elon Musk. This comes after Musk commented on the attendance numbers at rallies she attended with Senator Bernie Sanders. A right-wing influencer, Mario Nawfal, claimed that GPS data revealed discrepancies in the reported attendance numbers. He suggested that only about 20,000 people attended the rallies instead of the claimed 34,000, and many had attended multiple protests in the past. Musk jumped into the conversation, suggesting that Democrats were using the same paid protesters at various events. Ocasio-Cortez replied with a quip, saying, "Someone’s butthurt." She then encouraged Musk to think of a more interesting conspiracy theory to share.
