Elon Musk takes a dig at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with new merch, promotes subscription plan

Elon Musk and New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been going at it for the past few weeks over the Blue Ticks controversy. He recently took a dig at her and posted a photo of a T-shirt that read, "Your feedback is appreciated, now pay USD 8."

Musk's tweet comes days after he tweeted a screenshot of the price of the Congresswoman's supporter T-shirt on 3rd November.

The screenshot showed the supporter T-shirt priced at USD 58. Without attaching any text to the photo of the new merchandised T-shirt in his latest tweet, Elon Musk has left the micro-blogging users in splits.


A week ago, Elon Musk announced that Twitter will be charging USD 8 as a subscription fee from those who are verified on the site. Basically, it means if you have a blue tick, you've got to pay USD 8 per month!

Then, on November 2, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez aka AOC "Lmao at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that 'free speech' is actually a USD 8/mo subscription plan."

Replying to AOC, Elon reiterated his stance on the blue tick fee and quipped, "Your feedback is appreciated, now pay USD 8."

Soon after, he shared a screenshot of the price of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez aka AOC supporter T-shirt which is priced at USD 58 and added a 'thinking' emoji with it.

AOC explained the pricing by tweeting, "proud of this and always will be. My workers are union, make a living wage, have full healthcare, and aren't subject to racist treatment in their workplaces. Items are made in USA. Team AOC honors and respects working people. You should try it sometime instead of union-busting."

AOC then mocked Elon Musk again by tweeting, "One guy's business plan for a USD 44 billion over-leveraged purchase is apparently to run around and individually ask people for USD 8. Remember that next time you question yourself or your qualifications."
