Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out Elon Musk for his behavior on Twitter.
The 33-year-old member of the House of Representatives reacted to the multi-billionaire owner’s decision to suspend several journalists from the social media platform.
He claimed that the accounts were doxxing him by sharing “exact real-time location,” which Elon referred to as “basically assassination coordinates.”
AOC was not buying his accusations and said as much.

“You’re a public figure. An extremely controversial and powerful one,” she wrote in a series of tweets. “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.”
She added that she had been “subject to real + dangerous plots,” which made her understanding of Elon‘s alleged plight.
“In fact, many of the right-wing outlets you now elevate published photos of my home, car, etc,” AOC said.
This is not the first time that the two have exchanged tweets over the handling of Twitter.

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.
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.
