<\/div>Latest Feud<\/h2>
Another day, another Elon Musk feud on Twitter — except now, he's the owner of the social network, and he's beefing with a sitting member of Congress.<\/p>
The whole thing started innocently enough earlier this week, when firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY, and better known by her initials, \"AOC\") subtweeted the website's new owner.<\/p>
\"Lmao at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that 'free speech' is actually a $8\/mo subscription plan,\" the New York Democratic Socialist tweeted in a post that<\/a>, upon Futurism's perusal, appeared to load only half the time.<\/p> Not one to be shown up, Musk later posted a screenshot<\/a> of an AOC-branded sweatshirt from the congressperson's website, with its $58 price tag circled and an emoji belying the billionaire's alleged affront at the price.<\/p> In response, Ocasio-Cortez said<\/a> she was proud her sweatshirts were made by union labor, and that the proceeds from their sales<\/a> were going to fund educational support for needy kids. She later dug in further<\/a>, noting that her account was \"conveniently\" not working and joking that Musk couldn't buy his way \"out of insecurity.\"<\/p> Yo @elonmusk<\/a> while I have your attention, why should people pay $8 just for their app to get bricked when they say something you don’t like? <\/p> This is what my app has looked like ever since my tweet upset you yesterday. What’s good? Doesn’t seem very free speechy to me — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) November 3, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote> To be clear, any suggestion that Musk personally had anything to do with any Twitter glitches on AOC's part would seem ludicrously petty. But then again, this is a guy who once hired a private detective<\/a> to investigate a random critic.<\/p> Occam's razor, though, suggests that it was probably AOC's mega-viral tweet that broke the site's notoriously dodgy infrastructure. Of course, that's not a ringing endorsement of the site that Musk just acquired for the colossal sum of $44 billion.<\/p> More on Twitter: <\/strong>Twitter Working on Plan to Charge Users to Watch Videos<\/em><\/a><\/p> The post AOC Says Her Twitter Account Broke After She Made Fun of Elon Musk<\/a> appeared first on Futurism<\/a>.<\/p> Link:<\/p> AOC Says Her Twitter Account Broke After She Made Fun of Elon Musk<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Latest Feud Another day, another Elon Musk feud on Twitter \u2014 except now, he's the owner of the social network, and he's beefing with a sitting member of Congress.
