Though AOC and Elon (along with plenty of other leftists and Elon) have had their troubles and differences lately, it’s important to remember that this is hardly the first time that Elon has gone scorched Earth when dealing with AOC and her far-left friends.

In fact, what might have been his best smackdown of AOC happened back in April of 2022. Then, AOC began the fight when she decided to post about billionaires, poverty, and what she sees the end goals of the American far-left as being.

In the tweet, AOC posted about billionaires and the left, particularly the left’s priorities, saying, “Billionaires be like “the extreme far left is taking over” when the “extreme far left” in the US is “medicine shouldn’t bankrupt you,” “wages should cover rent,” & “maybe it’s bad that Wall St companies profit off mass surveillance, manufactured housing crises, and caging people.’”

Continuing, AOC then implied billionaires shouldn’t have much political power because of their relatively low numbers, saying, “The number of billionaires in the US couldn’t even fill an apartment building, but the number of people they negatively impact is only growing. All the US billionaire votes combined couldn’t even come in 2nd for an NY city council election. That’s why they stay pressed.”

Predictably, AOC’s ridiculous tweet drew insane responses from people who called for everything from confiscating the wealth of billionaires to executing the rich like happened during the French Revolution. One of those responses, for example, said, “I suppose my idea will never pass Congress, which has been bought and sold, but I say we cap individuals at $1 billion and don’t let them start corporations to hold the rest. And if they don’t like it, c.f. 1789 France. Nobody needs or truly earns that much money.”
