Musk also tweeted a screenshot of an Ocasio-Cortez merchandise sweatshirt with the price of $58 circled and a thinking face emoji.
Ocasio-Cortez defended the price of the sweatshirt while also taking another shot at the billionaire.
“My workers are union, have full healthcare + benefits like childcare help, and are all paid a living wage,” she wrote. Proceeds support community projects such as tutoring underserved children. You’re a union buster with an ego problem who takes advantage of people by underpaying and mistreating them.”
