Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) responded to Elon Musk’s conspiracy theory that Democrats move the same group of paid protesters to different events.

Right-wing influencer Mario Nawfal claimed GPS data showed only 20,000 attendees—less than the reported 34,000—at recent rallies and suggested most had attended multiple past protests.

Musk amplified this claim, alleging the use of paid protesters.

Ocasio-Cortez dismissed Musk’s claim with “Someone’s butthurt,” adding he should find “a new, more interesting conspiracy theory to peddle.”
