Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says some of her Twitter features no longer work. A conscious move by new owner Elon Musk, she suspects her. The politician had just expressed his displeasure about his plans with the medium.
“Yes, Elon Musk. Now that I have your attention, why would people pay $ 8 for an app that blocks them if they say something they don’t like? ‘ With that tweet, the American figurehead on the left, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, announces that parts of her app are completely empty. “AOC”, as her name is abbreviated, says she no longer receives notifications. She will no longer see tweets where someone mentions it. ”Musk, otherwise very talkative, was silent.
“It looks like I stepped on a billionaire’s toes,” the 33-year-old Democrat said in a video posted on her social media. Meanwhile, she eats the cookies casually. In the video, she shares her version of her facts about her confrontation with Twitter boss Musk.
In it, the two bombarded each other with mean tweets. Musk had responded with contempt to the criticisms of the AOC. The politician complained that “the blue tick on Twitter” with Musk’s plans would cost $ 8 a month. Musk bit a screenshot of his online store of him, where he charges $ 58 for a sweater. $ 8 is peanuts for using one product each month, Tesla’s boss claims. He doesn’t hesitate to post a series of memes (kind of an Internet cartoon) about the discussion.
opposites
The two rock heads not only bomb each other in their own style, but they also have completely different worldviews. Now that you are in control of the largest debate forum in the world, the seemingly mundane discussion on the Internet takes on a whole new dimension.
Ocasio-Cortez is very progressive and calls himself a “socialist,” which many Americans still regard as an insult. The ACO had three colleagues ‘The team’, a group of far-left Democrats that former President Donald Trump had told them to “go back to their country.” The quartet then had a direct confrontation with Trump: the left-right contradiction at its peak.
Furthermore, the political temperament has already been noticed through her dress at the Met Gala in New York. Nobody could read the inscription ‘tax the rich‘on her dress. You have created quite a stir.

• What will the new “Chief Twit” do with Twitter?
What he was aiming for was a return of AOC’s political antipode, Trump on Twitter. “A mistake,” the Tesla boss said. A tweet in which Musk advertised a conspiracy theory the attack on the husband of the Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives only further feeds the suspicions that Musk has Trumpian sympathies. Fox Newsthe channel that supports Trump for better or for worse, has sided with Musk in coverage of the Twitter riot.
Midterm
The United States is within days of major mid-term elections. AOC would like to be re-elected from his home port of New York. In 2018 she became the youngest member of the House of Representatives ever elected there. The ambitious woman can miss boycotts on the world’s largest debate platform like a toothache.
