AOC Throws Shot At Musk, Musk Hits Back

AOC and Musk have once again traded shots on Twitter.

Hours after Musk son X was stalked by a random Antifa operative, AOC took to Twitter to say to Musk  “You’re a public figure. An extremely controversial and powerful one. I get feeling unsafe, but descending into abuse of power + erratically banning journalists only increases the intensity around you.”

She would continue to say “Take a beat and lay off the proto-fascism. Maybe try putting down your phone.”

Musk would respond by tweeting “You first lol”

Take a look:

You’re a public figure. An extremely controversial and powerful one.

I get feeling unsafe, but descending into abuse of power + erratically banning journalists only increases the intensity around you.

Take a beat and lay off the proto-fascism. Maybe try putting down your phone. https://t.co/BniyYUqWMY

You first lol

The Post Millennial added these details:

In an ironic statement, New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told Elon Musk to get over his fears of being stalked and harassed in public and to “lay off the proto fascism” in response to him temporarily suspending people who doxxed his real-time location information on the platform.

On Thursday, several accounts of journalists working at multiple left-wing outlets were suspended, including Donie O’Sullivan of CNN, Drew Harwell of Washington Post, Ryan Mac of New York Times, and Aaron Rupar. All had recently published links to a “jet tracker” that shared live updates on the location of Musk’s private plane, in violation of the newly-expanded anti-doxxing rules.

When users began to point out the suspensions, Musk made it clear that anyone – including journalists – who post his “exact real-time location, basically assassination coordinates, [are] in (obvious) direct violation of Twitter terms of service.”

“Same doxxing rules apply to ‘journalists’ as to everyone else,” Musk said.

This, apparently, was too harsh of a line to draw for New York Rep. Ocasio-Cortez.

“You’re a public figure. An extremely controversial and powerful one. I get feeling unsafe, but descending into abuse of power + erratically banning journalists only increases the intensity around you,” she said in a quote tweet.

Following the ban of “Elon Jet,” a twitter account dedicated to tracking Musk’s private jet, a myriad of legacy media journalists were suspended from the platform for allegedly participating in doxxing the tech billionaire.

“You’re a public figure. An extremely controversial and powerful one,” said Ocasio-Cortez. “I get feeling unsafe, but descending into abuse of power + erratically banning journalists only increases the intensity around you. Take a beat and lay off the proto-fascism. Maybe try putting down your phone.”

“As someone who has been subject to real + dangerous plots, I do get it. I didn’t have security and have experienced many scary incidents,” Ocasio-Cortez continued in a separate tweet. “In fact, many of the right-wing outlets you now elevate published photos of my home, car, etc. At a certain point you gotta disconnect.”

“You first lol,” Musk responded.
