Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed late on Sunday that former President Donald Trump serving food at a McDonald’s and X owner Elon Musk giving away $1 million a day to boost voter turn out efforts was an example of the two men mocking working class Americans.
The socialist lawmaker’s remarks come after Trump served supporters food at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania on Sunday in an effort to call attention to Vice President Kamala Harris’ unsubstantiated claims that she worked at the fast food chain growing up.
Musk, meanwhile, has been aggressively hitting the campaign trail to boost voter turnout for the former president. Musk has been giving away $1 million every day until Election Day to a random person who signs his America PAC petition that pledges support for the First and Second Amendments.
“We see Elon Musk coming in here. I mean, we gotta talk about what this guy’s doing,” Ocasio-Cortez told an audience at an event for the Harris-Walz campaign.
“He’s not only just dumping millions and millions of dollars here in the state of Pennsylvania, acting like he’s from here, acting like he knows what Pennsylvania is about,” she said. “It’s not just what he’s doing, he’s doing these little, I don’t know, these little contests where he’s promising people a million dollars in some kind of lottery giveaway if they sign up for his list.”
“And I want us to put together what those two things are like when you have a billionaire just dangling a million bucks to those of us, and many of us who are struggling to make ends meet, if they dance for him,” she continued. “You’ve got Donald Trump putting on a little McDonald’s costume because he thinks that’s what people do.”
“They’re not trying to empathize with us. They are making fun of us,” she claimed. “They are making fun of us. Donald Trump thinks that people who work at McDonald’s are a joke. Elon Musk thinks that dangling money in front of a working person is a cute thing to do when the election of our lives is before us, because that’s what people and billionaires like that do.”
