Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and tech magnate Elon Musk were at it again on Twitter, with Ms. Ocasio-Cortez criticizing Mr. Musk’s plan to pay for verification.
The New York Democrat started the virtual food fight late Tuesday night when she chided Mr. Musk’s intent to “sell people on the idea that ‘free speech’ is actually a $8/mo subscription plan.”
Twitter’s new owner quipped back, “Your feedback is appreciated, now pay $8.”
He later mocked Ms. Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday for equating the verification feature — the blue checkmark seen next to the names of public figures and organizations — with “free speech” and for complaining about the $8 monthly price while selling a $58 sweatshirt on the congresswoman’s website.
