Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says her Twitter was 'bricked' after criticising Elon Musk over verification payment

ABC  

US Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has raised concerns about troubles with her Twitter account after trading barbs with the platform's new boss Elon Musk about the introduction of a monthly fee for verification of users. Ms Ocasio-Cortez said her Twitter account wasn't functioning properly and that she had been "informed via text that I seem to have gotten under a certain billionaire's skin". Insider Intelligence analyst Jasmine Enberg said "tapping into Twitter users to make more money may be the right strategy", but that verification was not the right feature to charge for. Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives estimated that of the roughly 300,000 verified Twitter accounts, "only about 25 per cent would go down this path ultimately and pay the $8 per month fee".
