Democratic Socialist lawmaker fired back at the Tesla mogul for referring to her as “not that smart” over her stance on illegal immigration.
Under a new rule put in place in May by the administration of President Joe Biden, migrants who have not sought an appointment to cross at a legal port of entry on a government-run cellphone app known as CBP One can face a higher bar to asylum and potentially swift deportation.
Migrant numbers had initially plummeted after the announcement, but in recent weeks began rising again as thousands of migrants – many fleeing Venezuela – making their way through south and central America began arriving at the border. Undocumented migrants — mostly from Venezuela — have been pouring into the country by crossing the Rio Grande at Eagle Pass.Ocasio-Cortez last week played down the severity of the migrant crisis, insisting that the numbers of undocumented who crossed into the US paled in comparison to the number of those who entered the country through Ellis Island last century.
Her observation prompted Musk to remark on X that she was “not very smart” — continuing a long-running feud that has prompted Ocasio-Cortez to vow that she would trade in her Tesla for an electric vehicle made by a company that employs unionized workers.Last year, the mogul responded to her tweet about “some billionaire with an ego problem” by joking: “Stop hitting on me, I’m really shy.”
“I was talking about Zuckerberg but ok,” Ocasio-Cortez shot back at Musk, referring to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, before deleting the response about a minute later.
