Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims her Twitter account has experienced difficulties following feud with Elon Musk

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed Wednesday that her Twitter account was experiencing technical issues following an online disagreement with Twitter's new owner and CEO, Elon Musk.

The Democratic New York representative alleged Wednesday that her Twitter mentions/notifications conveniently aren't working. She followed up with a second tweet Thursday which claimed that the Verified tab of her account, which should be populated with tweets from verified creators, appeared empty.

This is what my app has looked like ever since my tweet upset you yesterday, she wrote. What's good? Doesn't seem very free speechy to me.

The back-and-forth began Tuesday, when Ocasio-Cortez tweeted her distaste that a billionaire [is] earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that 'free speech' is actually a $8/mo subscription plan, referencing a Musk announcement that the platform was considering charging users for verification status.

Lmao at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that “free speech” is actually a $8/mo subscription plan
