Horror fiction author Stephen King got hilariously ratioed on Twitter by the company’s new chief, Elon Musk. The latest series of long ongoing spars between the two personals came after King targeted Musk for his free speech policies and tweeted, “Pretty soon the only advertiser left on Twitter will be My Pillow,” referring to woke advertisers’ attempted boycott of Twitter after Musk’s acquisition.
Critics quickly pointed out King’s hypocrisy in threatening to leave Twitter multiple times in the past, especially after Musk’s plan to charge a monthly subscription for the “verified” checkmark on the platform.
“Every time I see his tweets I’m more shocked it’s not a parody account,” Fox News contributor Joey Jones responded.
“Stephen King of saying he’s going to leave Twitter but never does,” asked comedians and conservative commentators Hodge Twins.

Conservative member, MostlyPeacefulMemes, responded by noting, “Weird way to say all the corporations and big business are on the side of the #Resistance.”

And eventually, Musk himself, sharing similar views, responded with “Oh hi lol.”

And later, with arousing curiosity, questioned, “Is My Pillow actually a great pillow? Now I’m curious.”

And taking inspiration from his friends at the Babylon Bee, he added, “Headline: “Stephen King Tweet Causes My Pillow Sales to Skyrocket!” Lmaoo”

Another user pointed out King’s hypocrisy and wrote, Headline: “Stephen King tweets on Twitter about how much he hates Twitter simultaneously advertising for Twitter.”
