Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

You have billionaires who run news outlets like Jeff Bezos and the Washington Post, billionaires that run the LA Times, completely interjecting into their editorial boards and manipulating what's being written in them. We're here. We are here. And we are going to witness very unprecedented moments come January.

This is actually what this fight is actually all about. This is why Elon is involved in this right now. He's not tweeting this out of nowhere. He's not coming at this out of nowhere. The Trump tax cuts are expiring next year. They are trying to lift the debt limit now because reauthorizing the Trump tax cuts next year are going to explode our federal debt. It's going to explode our deficit again.

And they don't want to lift the debt limit then to do that. They want to lift it now.

Because that'll draw too much attention to what their tax cuts are doing. And this way, if they split it up, it's less of a story.

And that's why Elon's getting involved. His net worth has, I believe it's almost doubled since the election. He is trying to further explode his net worth. And he is trying to leverage everything from income, from federal contracts, to reducing his own personal taxes. This is what this is about for him. Trump has a different set of priorities for himself.

He's trying to line his own pockets and figure out his own political preservation in this moment. And sometimes those things are aligned and sometimes they're not. And I think right now we're in one of those friction points.

It's sort of the definition of an oligarchy where even though these guys aren't these, I mean, Trump's not even in office yet. His billionaire daddy is controlling whether the government will stay open or not.
