The Independent:
AOC calls Elon Musk a ‘leech’ on the public
“This guy is a leech on the public. No matter how many billions he gets in tax cuts and government contracts, it will never be enough for him,” the representative wrote on X Saturday.
“Now he’s going after the elderly, the disabled, and orphaned children so he can pocket it in tax cuts for himself,” Ocasio-Cortez continued. “It’s disgusting.”

A government that issues and spends in its own currency is not financed by tax dollars.
He takes food out of the mouths children, medicine from the sick, precious beneficial public services such as NOAA FAA or NIH, while his economic class directs every last dime of federal spending into their own pockets. Evil men then demand we pay tax to reduce the money supply provided by the deficit, while they who take the majority of $ do not.

Calling that utter pig, and self identified nazi a "leech" when he is advocating more tax cuts for himself at the expense of -many- social safety nets 1) is accurate, and 2) describes criminal level destruction he is engaged in- *edit*which isn't trivial. His actions are reprehensible. Her words are nicer than called for.
But I have some criticism for AOC : I mean WTF is she -still- doing on twitter, for starters.

Rule of the rich.
Plutocracies always collapse because the interested parties get too greedy. This is where we are headed under Trump.
Or.... the rich get together to curtail their greed before collapse. This is unlikely to happen under Trump.

Another reason Pelosi, Schumer and Jefferies need to go --- they won't stand up for her while she fights for us.
