“Laughing, a millionaire seriously trying to sell people on the idea that free speech is actually an $8 a month subscription.” In a tweet posted on November 2, Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez mocked Twitter’s monetization. An attack that the new boss of the platform Elon Musk would not have liked.
A hopelessly empty notification thread
After pissing off the new owner of the social network, who responded curtly, the representative to the United States Congress was surprised the next day to see glitches appear on her Twitter account. According to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, these riots are directly related to the criticism that she has made against the richest man in the world.
He shared a screenshot where his notification thread is hopelessly empty. A fact that is at least unusual for a personality like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, followed by 13.5 million people.
An hour before this publication, the policy had increased its criticism. “One guy’s business plan to overbuy $44 billion apparently is to ask people individually for $8,” he wondered. And to invite his subscribers to “remember him the next time they question his abilities.”
There is no indication that Elon Musk had anything to do with the malfunctions, real or alleged, of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Twitter account. Faced with these criticisms, the billionaire contented himself with a brief answer of which he has the secret: “his comments are appreciated, but now pay 8 dollars.”
