AOC threatens to leave Twitter over faker account: Elon Musk has promoted parody with fake messages about her boyfriend's farts and how she is a 'gorgeous millionaire'

• AOC threatened on Tuesday to leave Twitter over a parody account
• She said she was 'assessing' what to do after Elon Musk replied to a tweet from the parody account
• The message came after the parody account tweeted that she has a crush on Elon Musk, which he replied to with a fire emoji 

Squad member AOC has threatened to leave Twitter over a parody account.

The woke New York Congresswoman tweeted that she may abandon her 13.4million followers after Elon Musk promoted a 'sick' account impersonating her.

She said she was 'assessing' what to do after the billionaire replied to a tweet from the parody account, 'Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Press Release (parody).'

'FYI there's a fake account on here impersonating me and going viral,' AOC tweeted. 'The Twitter CEO has engaged it, boosting visibility.' 

She claimed the account was 'releasing false policy statements,' after previously tweeting about her boyfriend's farts and her ideas to tackle climate change.

'I am assessing with my team how to move forward,' Ocasio-Cortez said. 

'In the meantime, be careful of what you see,' she warned her followers.

Her message came after Musk replied to a tweet from the parody account, which wrote: 'This might be the wine talking but I've got a crush on @ElonMusk.'

The mogul replied with a fire emoji.

The parody account tweeted out similar sentiments about Musk in the past, including one saying '[Elon Musk] my boyfriend is at Target and my DMs are open. You know what to do.'

It also wrote that 'Every time my boyfriend farts — I make him plant a tree to offset his carbon emissions,' and suggested 'the real reason MAGA extremists are so infuriated with me... I'm young, gorgeous, successful and a millionaire.'

On Memorial Day, the account also told its 170,900 followers to 'take a moment on this Memorial Day to remember all the citizens that lost their lives trying to come through our southern border.'

Following AOC's announcement, the account posted a series of tweets, including one saying: 'After brainstorming with my staff — I'm going to push Congress to make it illegal to joke, laugh or make fun of me.

'Parody should be illegal,' it wrote.

'FYI... I have no problem with parody accounts,' the parody account added later, 'just the ones that make fun of me.'

Ocasio-Cortez's threat of leaving Twitter is just the latest in a string of attacks on Musk since he took over the social media platform last year.

When Musk announced in November that those who want to retain their blue verification marks would have to pay $8, AOC mocked the move on the social media platform.

'LMAO at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that "free speech" is actually an $8/mo subscription plan,' she wrote at the time, to which Musk replied: 'Your feedback is appreciated, now pay $8.' 

Then when the Tesla founder announced last month that Twitter would remove the blue verification marks for legacy accounts that do not pay for Twitter Blue, AOC claimed he was paving the way 'for major potential harm.'

Following the congresswoman's announcement, the parody account suggested she was trying to ban parody accounts from making fun of her

She also previously claimed Musk had meddled with her account when she could not see notifications from verified accounts. 

The congresswoman suggested the issue started following a public argument.

'Yo @ElonMusk while I have your attention, why should people pay $8 just for their app to get bricked when they say something you don't like?' she tweeted earlier this year. 

Musk replied to the tweet joking, 'What can I say? It was a naked abuse of power.'

And in December, AOC condemned Musk after he suspended the accounts of half a dozen journalists who reported on him and his takeover of Twitter.

'I get feeling unsafe, but descending into [an] abuse of power and erratically banning journalists only increases the intensity around you,' she wrote.

'As someone who has been subject to real and dangerous plots, I do get it. I didn't have security and have experienced many scary incidents. In fact, many of the right-wing outlets you now elevate published photos of my home, car, etc. 

'At a certain point, you gotta disconnect. Maybe try putting down your phone,' she suggested.

'You first, lol,' Musk replied at the time.
