In the United States, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez spoke out against Donald Trump and Elon Musk during a United Auto Workers (UAW) event in Pennsylvania on October 21, 2024. She criticized their behavior during their election campaigns, arguing that they were not trying to connect with working-class individuals but were instead mocking them. Ocasio Cortez specifically pointed out the America PAC, a campaign group led by Trump and Musk, which encourages voters in key swing states to participate in a $1 million sweepstakes. This promotion, she argued, trivializes the struggles faced by many Americans. AOC condemned Trump's recent social media posts, which include footage of him allegedly working in a McDonald's kitchen, suggesting that such actions highlight a disconnect with the working class and serve to belittle their experiences. Her comments reflect broader concerns regarding the authenticity of political figures in engaging with real issues that affect working people.
