AOC has announced plans to ditch her Tesla, weeks after Elon Musk told her to stop flirting with him on Twitter.

The Green New Deal-backing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 32, told Bloomberg in an interview Wednesday that she wants to switch to an electronic car that is made domestically by unionized workers.

Currently, the only such vehicles she could consider are Ford’s huge F-150 Lightning truck, which will be released later this year, or a Chevy Bolt.

The Democrat told the network that she purchased her Model 3 in 2020 around the time that the Covid-19 began.

AOC said the purchased the $35,000 car was because it was the only electric vehicle that could make the drive on less than two charges

In April, when AOC tweeted about ‘some billionaire with an ego problem,’ Musk responded to her message jokingly saying: ‘Stop hitting on me, I’m really shy.’

AOC attracted Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s attention with this tweet last month

The banter continued with AOC later screenshotting her tweet about Musk having an ego problem, writing in that message: like I said, ego problems.’

When asked about Tesla CEO Musk’s recent declaration that he will vote Republican from now on having previously voted Democrat, AOC said: ‘He’s a billionaire. I could care less what he thinks.’

While over on her Instagram story, AOC posted a screenshot of the ‘ego problem’ tweet with the caption: ‘If he’s looking for something to do he can pay taxes.’
