The account, cheekily titled ‘Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Press Release (parody),’ became an overnight sensation when Twitter helmsman, Elon Musk, gave a nod of acknowledgment to one of its tweets.
Socialist Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), lit up Twitter on Tuesday, sharing her histrionic reaction to a popular parody account that artistically crafts a satirical version of the congresswoman – and effectively blowing up its existence.

The account, cheekily titled “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Press Release (parody),” became an overnight sensation when Twitter helmsman, Elon Musk, gave a nod of acknowledgment to one of its tweets.

The lighthearted exchange involved a playful confession from the parody account, stating, “This might be the wine talking, but I’ve got a crush on @elonmusk.” Musk responded in kind, striking a chord with a fire emoji.

The congresswoman took to her Twitter, addressing her followers about the account. “FYI there’s a fake account on here impersonating me and going viral. The Twitter CEO has engaged it, boosting visibility. It is releasing false policy statements and gaining spread. I am assessing with my team how to move forward. In the meantime, be careful of what you see.”

Among the account’s delightful quips are gems like:

I’m having my staff report every single tweet that makes fun of me to the DOJ.
