AOC wants to ditch her Tesla after spat with Elon Musk, ‘I would love to switch’

May 26, 2022 | | Print Article

Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is fuming mad at billionaire Elon Musk and is prepared to get rid of her beloved Tesla electric vehicle in a public gesture of her dissatisfaction with yet another one of her cries for attention.

The socialist diva told Bloomberg that she is prepared to ditch her Model 3, stating that she instead wants to get an EV that is made by unionized labor, a key constituency of the Democratic Party despite the currently limited selection of such vehicles.

“The only union-made electric vehicles for sale in the U.S. are the Chevrolet Bolt, the slightly larger Bolt EUV and Ford’s F-150 Lightning pickup,” according to Bloomberg which interviewed the New York City lawmaker for a story that was published on Wednesday about Democrats’ fondness for Musk’s cars despite their dislike of him personally.

“He’s a billionaire. I could care less what he thinks,” AOC said when asked for her take on Musk’s announcement that he would no longer support the “party of division and hate” and that he will now be voting Republican. He has also spoken out about what he describes as the “woke mind virus” of the left which includes the congresswoman’s cult-like followers.

Ocasio-Cortez bought her Tesla for the commute between her home district which includes parts of the Bronx and Queens and Washington, D.C., during the COVID pandemic.

“At the time, it was the only EV that could get me from New York to Washington on like one, or one-and-a-half charges,” she told Bloomberg. “I would love to switch.”

Like her fellow party members, Ocasio-Cortez isn’t pleased with the Tesla/SpaceX CEO’s purchase of Twitter and the idea that he could soon level the playing field by ending censorship on the platform led her to lash out at Musk, suggesting that he is somehow responsible for an “explosion of hate crimes” in one of her hysterical missives.

Musk then put her in her place, shooting back last month, “Stop hitting on me, I’m really shy,” flipping the script on the leader of “The Squad” who responded to criticism after being caught maskless in Miami over the holidays by claiming that sexually frustrated Republicans just wanted to date her.

Ocasio-Cortez’s Tesla drew attention last year when it was spotted illegally parked in front of a Whole Foods market that was connected to the luxury apartments that she lives in.

While Ocasio-Cortez may be ready for a switch over her snit with Musk, other Democrats still love their Tesla EVs including Senator Tom Carper from President Joe Biden’s home state of Delaware.

“It is just so much fun to drive,” Carper said, according to Bloomberg. “I’m able to charge it at home, plug it in at 10 o’clock at night when electricity rates are pretty low, so it’s quite a bargain.”

Another Dem senator, Mark Kelly of Arizona, the owner of a black Model S Performance told the outlet, “This car is a lot of fun to drive. It’s also generally good for the environment, right? Zero emissions.”

“I’m not a Musk fan, but I appreciate, like, he is both brilliant and incredibly arrogant,” said Martin Heinrich, a Senate Democrat from New Mexico. “People can separate these things. Should he pay more taxes? Yes. Do I want him to stop making cars? Absolutely not.”

Other Democrat lawmakers of note who own Teslas are Rep. Adam Schiff of California, Rep. David Cicilline of Rhode Island, Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware, and Rep. Tom Malinowski of New Jersey, according to Bloomberg.

  1. Puttin is in poor health and not expected to live beyond the next couple of year. AOC would be his ideal replacement as she has absolutely no use for the United State’s.

  2. EV’s are not that clean. It requires fossil fuels to make and the battery requires it too. The only good thing is the lack of carbon emissions. Those emissions are out of sight at the factories.

  3. “At the time, it was the only EV that could get me from New York to Washington on like one, or one-and-a-half charges,” Lol that says it all

  4. She won’t be able to afford her electric bill or her car payments when she’s booted out of office. Unemployment won’t cover her bills. Couldn’t happen to a nicer dimwit.

  5. AOC owning a Tesla? Hmmm! Wonder if she paid her school loan yet or is she still waiting for us to pay it for her?

  6. AOC I wouldn’t sell the Tesla just yet . Your going to be Unemployed very soon.

    1. She probably feels that the American taxpayers should pay for her car just like they should pay for her college loan. In other words, she won’t be paying for either. I will never be able to afford any electric car but if I could, it would be a Tesla simply because it is better made than anything that Ford or Chevy could come up with. The unions are obsolete now anyway. Times have changed and it’s not like it was when it was created. Now, all the Union is is a money collector for their own personal use. Does anyone keep track of how much they collect versus how much they spend on Union issues? If AOC doesn’t want her Tesla, I’m sure there’s a lot of people out there that would gladly take it off her hands.

  8. Say 250 miles between Nyc and DC, and you have to stop and charge the battery, not for me,

    1. I would literally use approximately 11 gallons of gas in my Honda Ridgeline. Today I drove 172 miles round trip. Filled up with ALMOST 7 gallons or 24 mpg.
      NYC to DC is about 230 miles. I could literally drive that round trip without having to stop.

    2. She’ll always look and act like a 12 year old spoiled brat. Her own parents wouldn’t vote for her.

  10. So childish. How old is she?? My grandchildren act better than this tantrum-throwing piece of useless trash.

  12. If I could make a suggestion. If you really hate Elon and his car so much, why not do something really dramatic to show your displeasure at him. Drive it off a cliff…

  15. “He’s a billionaire. I could care less what he thinks,”  If that’s true, why does she feel the need to get rid of it?

    Elon comes up with some pretty good burns. “Stop hitting on me, I’m really shy,”

  19. She should use the money from selling the Tesla to pay off her student loan.

    1. She’s got the cash … she took $10 Million from Netflix, for her story “Rock the House”. But there is a silver lining … have you noticed she not on a re-election bid ? Seems the last Census audit fount too many people moved from her district, resulting in a population loss so large her district was done away with. She’s gone after the mid-terms in November … if only the other members of the squad were so easily disbursed from Congress.

  21. If there was ever a good time for a Tesla to explode, it’s when AOC is driving it. It’s just Elon’s version of a late term abortion. She should support that now.

  22. So reduced emissions are only good when you agree with the person who facilitates them? Way to go, AOC!

  23. I’m sure happy these so-called members of congress can afford a Tesla. Most real people can’t. We really don’t care what bubble headed bimbo AOC says or thinks!!

  24. Why does anyone other than the MSM give this bimbo leftist party moron more than 2 lines to air out her grievances? Does anyone other than her leftist sycophants even care what she thinks or what she is doing much less saying? I for one do not and will never give this brainless oaf more than a few seconds to write these words.

  25. Gee, nice that this bimbo bar hooker can now afford a Tesla. And if Musk has not pioneered mass production of electric cars, none of those union-saddled car makers would be doing so.

  26. I just can’t seem to get the letters AOC into the word IDIOT very well..
    She does a good job of it thought, wouldn’t you say ?

  28. This from the woman who said she couldn’t afford the rent on her apartment on her Congressional salary? She can afford a Tesla, though. Gee, AOC, where did all that money suddenly come from?

  29. And where does that electric power come from? What’s it’s source? Windmills??
