Benzinga - by Navdeep Yadav, Benzinga Staff Writer.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) didn’t hold back in her response to Tesla CEO Elon Musk‘s comments about her intelligence regarding the ongoing immigration issue. She showcased her achievements and delivered a defiant “stay mad.”

What Happened: In a post on X, AOC emphasized her modest beginnings and listed her significant contributions, such as investigating Donald Trump‘s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, creating the largest FEMA funeral assistance program, and leading the establishment of a U.S. Climate Corps for job creation.

“I wasn't born rich and became the youngest woman in American history to be elected to Congress. Then I investigated Cohen, authored the largest FEMA funeral assistance program in history, and led the creation of a U.S. Climate Corps to create tens of thousands of new jobs. Stay mad,” she wrote on X.

Her response was directed at Musk, who had commented, “She's just not that smart,” below a video clip of her comparing the current immigration issue to historical immigration waves in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Musk replied: “I take it back – you're obviously a genius.”
