Welcome To The Other Side: AOC Complaining That Her Twitter Account ‘Conveniently’ Not Working After Feud With Musk

(Fox News)The feud between new Twitter CEO Elon Musk and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., continued Thursday evening before the lawmaker claimed her account “conveniently” stopped working.

Hours after Musk addressed critics of the platform’s proposed plan to charge users $8 a month to keep their blue check status on Twitter, Ocasio-Cortez, fired back at Musk.

 

“One guy’s business plan for a $44 billion over-leveraged purchase is apparently to run around and individually ask people for $8,” she wrote in a series of tweets. “Remember that next time you question yourself or your qualifications.”

The tweet came after Musk pointed out a sweatshirt on AOC’s website that costs $58, an attempt to defend his new Twitter verification service fee.

“Proud of this and always will be,” the Democratic lawmaker responded. “My workers are union, make a living wage, have full healthcare, and aren’t subject to racist treatment in their workplaces. Items are made in USA.”

Then, Ocasio-Cortez’s notifications “conveniently” stopped working, she claimed.

“Also my Twitter mentions/notifications conveniently aren’t working tonight, so I was informed via text that I seem to have gotten under a certain billionaire’s skin,” she wrote.

 

AOC added: “Just a reminder that money will never by your way out of insecurity, folks.” She later corrected her “by” typo with, “BUY*.”

 

Musk has been on the defensive and has repeatedly tried to fend off criticism of the $8 charge since it was first unofficially announced days ago, prompting backlash from Ocasio-Cortez and others.

 

Lmao at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that “free speech” is actually a $8/mo subscription plan
