Ocasio-Cortez had mocked Republicans for the federal government's potential budget shutdown, prompting Musk to respond by questioning her intelligence.
Ocasio-Cortez had attempted to downplay the severity of the migrant crisis by comparing the number of illegal aliens being sent to New York City to the millions of immigrants who had passed through Ellis Island between 1892 and 1954. Musk, unimpressed by her argument, simply stated, "She's just not that smart."
In her response, Ocasio-Cortez did not address the migrant crisis directly but instead highlighted her accomplishments to assert her intelligence. She emphasized her journey from a non-privileged background to becoming the youngest woman in American history to be elected to Congress.

Contrary to Ocasio-Cortez's perspective, other New York City officials expressed concern about the number of migrants and the strain it would place on the city. Mayor Eric Adams demanded that the federal government take responsibility for the situation, warning that the cost of caring for the migrants could potentially devastate the city.

Meanwhile, Musk criticized the media for largely ignoring the significant surge of illegal aliens crossing the border. He announced his intention to visit the border personally to assess the crisis firsthand.
This clash between the far-left socialist Ocasio-Cortez and Musk is not their first. They previously sparred over Musk's proposal to charge Twitter users for certain features on the platform, which he later rebranded as X.
