Elon Musk Feuds With American Politician AOC

Elon Musk Replies To AOC On Blue Tick Fee

Elon Musk has replied to US Politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over his planning to charge $8 per month for Twitter users to receive a verified blue tick.

Musk drew politician's attention, sharing a nearly $60 sweatshirt from Ocasio-Cortez’s website.

"Lmao at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that ‘free speech’ is actually a $8/mo subscription plan" the US representative had tweeted after Musk's Twitter purchase announcement.
