Stephen King FTW

And for context, in case you didn't already know - King had made it clear he would not pay for a Twitter subscription, so Musk gave him one, without telling him at first, to troll him. See https://www.thewrap.com/twitter-blue-legacy-verfied-accounts-lebron-james-stephen-king/ .

Now:




I think Mr. Musk should give my blue check to charity. I recommend the Prytula Foundation, which provides lifesaving services in Ukraine. It's only $8, so perhaps Mr. Musk could add a bit more.

That's why I asked just to make sure since I'm not as well versed as some on the whole musk trolling his own twitter company just to be a Giant Troll Asshole.

That's why it's always good to not hero worship people.

He was everybody's darling when he was reading Palin tweets, but every story I have seen notes that folks who worked with him, describe him a a pompous ass.

It's not surprising he and Muskrat are cut from them same cloth.

Star Trek series. He said that Shatner wouldn't pull his punches in fight scenes, and actually punched the stuntmen for real. They didn't like that.
