Stephen King attacks ‘ridiculous’ Elon Musk in ‘last tweets’ before US election day

Stephen King has given his last word on 2024 American elections in his “last tweet” on the subject.

Kamala Harris and donald trumpChina’s months of chaotic campaigning have officially come to an end with the arrival of election day, which will result in a new president.

While some stars have remained controversially silent about who they vote for, many celebrities have shared their support for both candidates, with an avalanche of people, including Harrison Ford, Jennifer Aniston and, in a surprising movementArnold Schwarzenegger, speaking in favor of Harris in recent weeks.

One person who has fervently supported Harris is Stephen King, author of Misery and the glowwho has now published what he said will be his last word on the issue, and lashed out Elon Musk in the process.

Tesla founder and X/Twitter owner Musk is a Trump supporter and has spoken out (and jumped) at several of his recent rallies and was recently closed by Cardi B after he called the rapper “a puppet.”

The day before the election, Musk shared a video of Harris supporting “mandatory gun confiscation” with the caption: “She wants to violate the Constitution.”

King responded: “That’s ridiculous. As usual,” and followed his post with: “Last tweet from me (probably not from the Musk Man) before Election Day: IF YOU LOVE DEMOCRACY, PLEASE VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS.”

Earlier in the day, King wrote: “Muskman has posted 3,000 times on Twitter in the last month. Most of it is pro-Trump disinformation and outright lies. Remember, he has skin in the game. Please consider your posts accordingly.”

He Carrie and ‘The Salem Lot The writer has made no secret of his dislike for both Trump and Musk. In 2022, King called Trump a “horrible person” and, in September 2024, he questioned Musk’s support for the presidential candidate.

According to King, Trump is “too smart to swallow this man’s nonsense.”

His comments came months later King was “trolled” by Musk after X/Twitter introduced a new policy that erased all pre-existing blue ticks on verified accounts and would now only be given to those who subscribe to the site.

However, author King, who had been openly critical of Musk’s plan to remove the free verification status, was confused to see that it still had a blue tick on Thursday night.

The author tweeted: “My Twitter account says I have subscribed to Twitter Blue. I haven’t done it. My Twitter account says I have given a phone number. “I haven’t done it.” In response to King, Musk wrote: “You’re welcome, namaste.”
