Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won plaudits from critics for saying her congressional salary is her only income and she doesn't trade stocks.

Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denied claims that she is secretly wealthy, stating she is worth less than $500,000 and doesn’t trade stocks or take corporate money.

Her financial disclosures show modest savings and student debt.

Some conservatives on X, despite opposing her politics, praised her perceived integrity.

Accusations of political corruption have surged online, partly fueled by Elon Musk.

    Man, if you don’t agree with her views, fine whatever. But for people to hate her so much to claim she’s corrupt when she’s clearly not is just silly.

    We live in a stupid timeline. More politicians should be like her. We’d all be better off, regardless of which party they were from.

      Anyone who use meta and x in 2025 is full of shit. Anyone who side with the red and blue party after all they have done is scum.
