If Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) wasn’t in politics, she’d probably be a performance artist at some far-left little club in New York because it seems like she constantly needs attention but never does anything consequential.

AOC whined to Bloomberg News that she was thinking about selling her Tesla after Elon Musk teased her online.

“He’s a billionaire. I could care less what he thinks,” Ocasio-Cortez, a progressive Democrat who recently had a Twitter dustup with Musk, said when asked about his support for the GOP. [….]

Ocasio-Cortez bought her Model 3 to travel between Washington and her Bronx-Queens district after Covid-19 hit in 2020. Now, the New York representative wants to ditch it for an electric vehicle made by unionized workers. “At the time, it was the only EV that could get me from New York to Washington on like one, or one-and-a-half charges,” she said. “I would love to switch.”

What’s hilarious about that is that obviously she does care about what he thinks, which is part of the reason she’s whining. She wants to ditch the car, because she doesn’t like what he has to say to her and the car isn’t made by unionized workers? Then why hasn’t she? What’s been stopping her? Why did she buy it to begin with if she knew it wasn’t made by unionized workers? So much for her alleged socialist principles.

Finally, saying it was the only EV that could get her from NY to Washington, D.C. on one to one-and-a-half charge is an endorsement of how great the car is (not to mention a condemnation of the practicality of other electric vehicles at present), but she doesn’t seem to understand that. Musk should make that into an ad.

Elon Musk had a funny response to her comments, asking who did Americans trust less: billionaires or politicians?

.@aoc I dare you to run the same poll with your followers

It was overwhelmingly in favor of the billionaires, to her socialist despair.

One of her acolytes offered to do it on her behalf and it produced the same result. So politicians like AOC are out of luck.

I’m not AOC, who I admire. I will bite, and I will take this poll. Who do you trust less?

Twitter does have its fun moments.
