Musk’s comment directed at Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was his latest response to a long list of complaints from verified users over Twitter’s new policy to institute an $8-a-month fee for those on the social media platform with blue check marks.
“Lmao at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that ‘free speech’ is actually a $8/mo subscription plan,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Tuesday night.
“Your feedback is appreciated, now pay $8,” Musk retorted in a short but fiery tweet Wednesday evening.
Hours later, the congresswoman joked on Twitter that she seemed “to have gotten under a certain billionaire’s skin” next to a laughing emoji.
“Just a reminder that money will never buy your way out of insecurity, folks,” she wrote.
