After not wanting it and refusing to pay for it, Stephen King has made it very clear what Elon Musk can do with his blue checkmark of authenticity. When the CEO paid for the almighty verification badge for him, the author tweeted that it would actually do more good to pay it forward to a charity.
In a new Twitter controversy that surpasses most of the celebrities being stripped of their coveted blue badges of honor, this one has some sting to it. Some of the Twits who bought the blue checkmark seem to not get Stephen King’s stance on the matter. It’s as if they aren’t paying attention to the conversation while voicing their opinions on how they feel about it. While The Shining author has been critical of how the Rocketman manages Twitter, other celebrities have distanced themselves from him over his transphobic, racist, and sexist views along with a slew of other terrible things he’s said and done according to this exhaustive list by Vanity Fair.
