Yes. He's had some exchanges with Musk in the past, but it's too easy for Musk to ignore what

Since Stephen King also posts on BlueSky, could we ask our DU posters to reference that preferentially?

He posted this on Bluesky yesterday:
"Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs."

He's not the kind of guy who posts just to get people to like him; he wants to remind anyone MAGA who think they like his writing that they haven't got it. Musk also has a history of reading and failing to get the basic message from the author; that may well include King's work.

he posts on Bluesky.
King has nearly 8x as many followers on Twitter as on Bluesky.

(62,218 posts)11. He didn't post it on Bluesky. See his account:

Quite a few people who are on both platforms post more messages on Twitter because they reach more people there.
