https://www.businessinsider.com/aoc-elon-musk-twitter-account-not-working-2022-11 Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she was "conveniently" having issues with her Twitter account on Wednesday after a spat with Elon Musk. The lawmaker began by slamming Musk's controversial plans to charge users for verification on the platform. Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Wednesday night: "Lmao at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that "free speech" is actually a $8/mo subscription plan." Musk replied to the tweet, saying: "Your feedback is appreciated, now pay $8." The two continued to bicker on the platform, with Musk a one point posting a screenshot of the lawmaker's merch shop with the price of a $58 sweatshirt circled. Ocasio-Cortez shot back, calling Musk a "union buster with an ego problem." Ocasio-Cortez is not the only one to take issue with some of Musk's decisions about the company. Public figures, including Stephen King, have criticized plans to charge verified Twitter users for blue ticks. Some are concerned that the move risks allowing fake accounts to pose as public figures and spread misinformation under a verified status. That is interesting Dems continue to be the only ones getting fact checked or having issues like that since Elon took over. --- I for one welcome our new computer overlords ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah thinking that's a bad price, especially given that's not even the first time she's addressed it, is hilarious. There's a company up here that wants $80 for a pair of Toronto Raptors shorts, and I can guarantee you at least half of what she said doesn't apply to the people working for the company. But that's also why New Era hats cost $50. --- https://i.imgur.com/bbRWLI8.gif https://i.imgur.com/A0BErSV.jpg https://i.imgur.com/S1m3po4.jpg https://i.imgur.com/7fCcfko.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!
