AOC says she would ‘love’ to sell her $50k Tesla, says she could ‘care less’ about Elon Musk

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said that she plans on ditching Tesla for a different electric vehicle brand amid an ongoing feud with Elon Musk.

Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez purchased a Model 3 Tesla (now worth nearly $50,000) in 2020, but recently told Bloomberg that she is ready to ditch Musk’s cars for something union-made.

“He’s a billionaire. I could care less what he thinks,” she said in an interview with Bloomberg News on Wednesday. Ocasio-Cortez said that she made the car purchase because it was “the only EV [electric vehicle] that could get me from New York to Washington on like one, or one-and-a-half charges.” Now, she said, she would “love to switch.”

AOC’s feud with the Tesla CEO has been going on for years. Last December, Musk took to Twitter to tease AOC after she complained that Republicans love to hit on her.

“If Republicans are mad they can’t date me they can just say that instead of projecting their sexual frustrations onto my boyfriend’s feet,” Ocasio-Cortez said of critics last year. “Ya creepy weirdos.”

“Stop hitting on me, I’m really shy,” Musk responded. Ocasio-Cortez said she was “talking about Zuckerberg” in a subsequent tweet, which she later deleted.

Still, she insisted on Wednesday that she “could care less” about Musk’s recent involvement in politics, his acquisition of Twitter, and his apparent war against “wokeism.”

Twitter announced in April that it agreed to be acquired by the Tesla CEO for $44 billion. Musk pledged to uphold free speech across the platform, and said he looks forward to unlocking the company’s “tremendous potential.”

“Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated,” he said at the time. “I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans.”
