New Delhi: SpaceX and Tesla Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Elon Musk has replied to Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s tweet criticising a “billionaire with an ego” problem, stating she should “stop hitting” on him as he is “really shy”.
The US representative from New York said in the tweet: “Tired of having to collectively stress about what explosion of hate crimes is happening bc some billionaire with an ego problem unilaterally controls a massive communication platform and skews it because Tucker Carlson or Peter Thiel took him to dinner and made him feel special”.
In the tweet, she did not name the billionaire she was referring to, but mentioned Tucker Carlson and Peter Thiel and talked about them taking the billionaire to dinner and making him “feel special”. Carlson is an American television host and political commentator, while Thiel is an entrepreneur who co-founded PayPal, led it as the CEO, and took it public.
Musk responded: “Stop hitting on me, I’m really shy ☺️”.
However, Ocasio-Cortez did not ignore Musk’s response and said, in a now-deleted tweet, that she was talking about Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
