It appears there are rumors circulating suggesting I referred to the person known as Trump’s potential new wife as Elon Musk. That’s not true, but to be honest, it simply didn’t cross my mind.

During this time, King’s fans reacted unfavorably towards him. One fan commented, “It was said you would leave America if Trump won, but here you are.” Another fan disputed the claim of him leaving America and suggested that The Shining author was merely seeking attention. They also described him as irrelevant and desperate for recognition. Eventually, Musk replied to King’s post with a simple, “Hi Steve.
The author frequently expresses disapproval towards Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO. More recently, Musk shared a post on platform X, claiming that Kamala Harris had stated her intention to “violate the Constitution.” He included a video excerpt in which she mentioned that she would employ executive action if Congress failed to enforce mandatory gun seizure legislation.
Regarding this matter, Stephen King voiced his opinion on X by labeling Musk’s statement as “preposterous.” Furthermore, it was highlighted that Musk posted approximately 3000 times on a social media platform last month. The author asserted that the tech entrepreneur disseminated “pro-Trump misinformation” and “blatant falsehoods.” King further urged users to exercise caution when reading Musk’s posts.
Previously, Elon Musk implemented a policy that removed blue verification badges from accounts that were previously verified. He stated that only Twitter Blue subscribers would receive these badges. Yet, it’s reported that Musk made an exception for King and allowed him to keep the blue tick. On X, the author pointed out that neither had King subscribed to Twitter Blue nor provided his contact details.
