Progressive challenger Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez celebrartes at a victory party in the Bronx after upsetting incumbent Democratic Representative Joseph Crowly on June 26, 2018 in New York City. Ocasio-Cortez upset Rep. Joseph Crowley in New York’s 14th Congressional District, which includes parts of the Bronx and Queens.
Although she didn't mention any name, Elon Musk still accused her of "hitting on him." The tech CEO even said that he is shy about women making the first move.
Of course, Ocasio-Cortez tried to direct her tweet to other billionaires. She specifically mentioned Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg.
Now, it seems like AOC is taking the issue to the next level, announcing that she will ditch her Tesla EV and look for other zero-emission vehicle models.

The U.S. representative said that she wants to have a new EV manufactured by companies that support employee unionization.
AOC added that she only purchased a Tesla Model 3 to get it from New York to Washington. As of writing, Ocasio-Cortez hasn't confirmed when she will resell her Tesla EV.
When it comes to impact, some experts said that Elon Musk's issue with AOC can affect Tesla since most of the company's consumers are Democrats.
But, it could also benefit the automaker since experts claim that Elon Musk's online activities are further attracting Republican EV buyers.
Is It Easy To Resell Tesla EV?
Reselling or transferring your EV to another owner also follows the process of reselling conventional car models. This means that you will do some paperwork, check the condition of the vehicle, etc.
But, unlike other car models, Tesla EVs require system resetting. Tesla's official website provides the simple steps you can follow if you want to sell your electric car:
- First, you need to click the Controls button. After that, just choose the Service option.
- Click the Factory Reset button and check if your accounts are no longer in your Tesla system.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk's sexual misconduct leads to a billion-dollar loss.
Previously, Elon Musk claimed that ESG is a scam, adding that Tesla is better for the environment compared to other companies.
