Did she just tell Elon to STFU? Damn, girl...
A lot of passive aggressive stuff going on between them. He'll probably end up banging her. Lucky bastard.

Ocasio-Cortez to Musk: ‘Sometimes being quiet’ is ‘good for you’ (msn.com)

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and tech billionaire Elon Musk clashed on social media Wednesday over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress after Musk called the Democratic Party “openly and boldly antisemitic.”The back-and-forth began after Musk responded to a post from Ocasio-Cortez on his social platform X about the decision by her and several other Democrats to boycott Netanyahu’s speech to a joint session of Congress.
“Just so we’re clear, Netanyahu has lost so many people that he is addressing just a fraction of Congress,” Ocasio-Cortez  “When this happens, they fill the seats with non-members, like what they do at award ceremonies, in order to project the appearance of full attendance and support. ”Musk, who attended the Israeli leader’s address at the Capitol, replied, “The Democratic Party has become openly & boldly antisemitic.” “Hmm,” Ocasio-Cortez responded, “sometimes being quiet is free and might be good for YOU,” adding a screenshot of a Wall Street Journal article about when Musk appeared to agree with an antisemitic post last year. Musk came under fire last November after engaging with a post about an antisemitic conspiracy theory that suggested antisemitism was carried out by minorities and that Jewish people were to blame. This claim echoes false conspiracy theories claiming Jewish people want to flood Western countries with minorities.
Musk and Ocasio-Cortez have butted heads various times on social media, including last summer, when the New York progressive publicly criticized the platform on multiple occasions since Musk’s takeover, for suspending several journalists from the social media platform to accusing Musk of impersonating her.
