Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez trolled Ron DeSantis and his supporters on Wednesday as the Florida governor tried to announce his presidential campaign amid a $4 on Twitter with Elon Musk.
Ocasio-Cortez took particular issue with entrepreneur David Sacks' claim that the initial audience for DeSantis' Twitter chat broke the internet.
"We had more people join when I played Among Us," $4
At one point, the room planned for the DeSantis chat had around 400,000 people. But Sacks and Musk were forced to another Twitter Space amid the glitches.
"We've got so many people here that I think we are kind of melting the servers," Sacks said at one point. Even Musk, who now owns Twitter, conceded that the platform was struggling to keep up.
While Sacks claimed victory, the reality is that other platforms often handle many more listeners or viewers. Travis Scott famously had more than 12 million users join him on Fortnite for a virtual concert, $4
Even other audio-focused platforms handle a bigger load.
