What do Bill Gates, Elizabeth Warren, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and other people have in common? Beef with Musk is what it is!
The billionaire CEO of the two companies that are currently trying to purchase the whole of the social media site kicked up a new kerfuffle yesterday when he assumed Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was behind his back.
Tired of having to collectively stress about what explosion of hate crimes is happening because some billionaire with an ego problem controls a massive communication platform and skews it because Tucker Carlson or Peter Thiel took him to dinner and made him feel special.
Musk said the congresswoman was clearly referencing him.
Musk said in a reply that he was really shy and should stop hitting on him.
Stop hitting on me, I’m really shy ☺️

She initially joked that she'd been talking about Mark Zuckerberg, but the post has since been deleted. When another user posted a picture of the original exchange, AOC simply said that Musk had problems.
Musk has been on fire recently.
The debate over whether he is breaking purchase agreement rules by insulting its top employees was in the middle of yesterday's advice against certain prescription drugs. It's likely that AOC wasn't talking about Musk at all since he's a billionaire tech CEO known for controversial decisions.
Musk has definitely been taking and throwing punches online this week, whether she was or not. We hate to be so cringe, but maybe it's time to log off, go outside and touch some grass.
