Parody is the final word compliment if imitation is flattery.
A series of tweets by a parody account of Alexandria Ocasio-CortezThe (or AOC, as she’s known) has struck a chord with hundreds of tweets and hundreds of thousands views.
It’s likely because Elon Musk has mentioned the account on his feed. The search term “AOC” shows the parody account first, which might be something Musk was also accountable for doing.
Here’s only a small handful of my favorites thus far:
The account’s creator has written some gems. I particularly just like the one where the fake account pretends to be offended by all the jabs: “Making fun of somebody as essential as me should never be allowed in a free society.”
That is where you may think it’s time to cry foul, that it isn’t fair for the owner of Twitter to have the opportunity to mess with the search results on Twitter. Musk restored the account, which was previously blocked, after he had tweeted. The feed is now going viral.
I don’t see anything too harmful in all of this, mostly since the jokes are literally funny. It doesn’t seem malicious, and the second we start blocking parody accounts we’d as well start censoring all comedians. Some jokes might be difficult to a selected way of pondering.
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, a member of the Democratic Party in Latest York City has been involved in an on-going spat with Musk for a few yr. They’ve traded barbs over Twitter regarding policy issues. Musk appears to be taking every thing in stride, and isn’t afraid to tackle politicians via his social media platform.
The true AOC Twittered a warning against the fake account.
One other twist is that it appears the AOC real account has blocked the fake one.
Elon Musk is a meme-loving man. He seems to post about them quite loads, and tries to make them as much as he possibly can. I’m sure he’s having a field day with the parody tweets.
It is just a matter of time before AOC is capable of garner sufficient support to ensure that Twitter to intervene, provided that the parody account makes fun of a politician.
It’s my guess that increasingly individuals are going to flock towards the parody Twitter account. They’ll retweet jokes. The meme is here to remain.
