If Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) wasn’t in politics, she’d probably be a performance artist at some far-left little club in New York because it seems like she constantly needs attention but never does anything consequential.
AOC complained to Bloomberg News about her thoughts on selling her Tesla, after Elon Musk had teased her online.
“He’s a billionaire. I could care less what he thinks,” Ocasio-Cortez, a progressive Democrat who recently had a Twitter dustup with Musk, said when asked about his support for the GOP. [….]
Ocasio Cortez bought her Model 3 in order to commute between Washington, New York and her Bronx/Queens area after Covid-19 came into effect in 2020. Ocasio-Cortez, a New York representative, wants to replace it with an electric vehicle built by unionized workers. “At the time, it was the only EV that could get me from New York to Washington on like one, or one-and-a-half charges,” she said. “I would love to switch.”
What’s hilarious about that is that obviously she does care about what he thinks, which is part of the reason she’s whining. She wants to ditch the car, because she doesn’t like what he has to say to her and the car isn’t made by unionized workers? Then why hasn’t she? What’s been stopping her? Why did she buy it to begin with if she knew it wasn’t made by unionized workers? She supposedly believes in socialist principles.
Finally, saying it was the only EV that could get her from NY to Washington, D.C. on one to one-and-a-half charge is an endorsement of how great the car is (not to mention a condemnation of the practicality of other electric vehicles at present), but she doesn’t seem to understand that. Musk should use that to promote the car.
Elon Musk responded to her remarks with a humorous response. He asked who Americans trusted less: politicians or billionaires.

To her socialist despair, it was overwhelming in favor of billionaires.
👀 🤣

It was done by one of her associates and produced the exact same result. AOC and other politicians are not in luck.
I’m not AOC, who I admire. This poll is mine. Do you have any doubts?

Twitter is not without its funny moments.
