   Elon Musk once again trolled Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter   
   — daring her to ask her own followers whether they have less   
   trust in politicians or billionaires.   
      
   The Tesla CEO addressed the New York congresswoman directly on   
   his Twitter account late on Thursday — just days after the   
   progressive “Squad” member said she’s eager to sell her Tesla.   
      
   Musk on Thursday posted a survey in which he asks: “Who do you   
   trust less? Real question.”   
      
   The two options given were politicians and billionaires. More   
   than 2.3 million people voted in the poll, which 76% saying they   
   had less trust in politicians.   
      
   Musk then tweeted: “@aoc I dare you to run the same poll with   
   your followers.”   
      
   When one Twitter user wondered whether Musk was “picking on” the   
   congresswoman because she said she wanted to ditch her Tesla,   
   the tech mogul responded with a wide-eyed and a laughing   
   hysterical emoji.   
      
   This is the second time in as many months that Musk has trolled   
   Ocasio-Cortez. Last month, he playfully teased her to “stop   
   hitting on me” after the Democrat lashed out at “some   
   billionaire with an ego problem” — though she claims she was   
   referring to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.   
      
   Earlier this week, the Green New Deal-backing progressive   
   congresswoman from the Bronx and Queens told Bloomberg News that   
   she’s itching to switch to an electric car that is manufactured   
   by a company that employs union members.   
      
   The Democrat told Bloomberg News on Wednesday that she purchased   
   her Tesla Model 3 back in 2020 in order to make it easier to   
   travel between her local district and Washington, DC.   
      
   “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 said.   
   “I would love to switch.”   
      
   The only battery-powered vehicles that are made domestically by   
   unionized workers are the Chevrolet Bolt, the Bolt EUV, and the   
   Ford F-150 Lightning pickup truck.   
      
   AOC recently got engaged to her longtime boyfriend, Riley   
   Roberts.   
      
      
      
   Musk posted a laughing emoji when a Twitter user asked if he was   
   “picking on” her because she said she wanted to ditch her Tesla.   
   Musk has alienated liberals and Democrats in recent weeks after   
   he declared that he would purchase Twitter in order to reverse   
   some of the site’s content moderation policies.   
      
   The Tesla CEO has said he would reinstate Donald Trump’s Twitter   
   account if his $44 billion acquisition of the San Francisco-   
   based social media company is completed.   
      
   Musk has also voiced criticisms of the Democratic Party, which   
   he branded a faction of “hate and division,” and stated his   
   intent to vote for GOP candidates in this year’s midterm   
   elections as well as the 2024 contests.
