"When you have a billionaire just dangling a million bucks to those of us and many of us who are struggling to make ends meet — if they dance for him," she told the crowd.

The Bronx Congresswoman also blasted Trump, who donned a McDonald's apron on October 20 to serve food in a Pennsylvania drive-thru, accusing him of mocking fast food workers.

Ocasio Cortez argued that both Trump and Musk were out of touch with the everyday struggles of working-class Americans, describing their actions as callous attempts to connect with voters.

Ocasio Cortez went on, "Donald Trump thinks that people who work at McDonald's are a joke. Elon Musk thinks that dangling money in front of a working person is a cute thing to do when the election of our lives is before us. They have absolutely no idea what our lives are like, and so they think this callousness is a way of connecting. They're laughing at us."
