Stephen King “Musk is a visionary, but Twitter ain’t cars and Twitter ain’t rockets”

Stephen King our favourite Twitter enthusiast has continued his critique of Musk, calling him a “visionary” but that he is  “terrible” for Twitter.

Last month, following the news that Musk was thinking of charging for Twitter’s blue tick of verification,  Stephen King wrote: “$20 a month to keep my blue check? Fuck that, they should pay me”

Now King has taken to the platform again, admitting that he thinks Musk is a “visionary” but is still convinced that the billionaire has been nothing short of  “terrible” for Twitter.

“I think Elon Musk is a visionary. Almost single-handedly, he’s changed the way Americans think about automobiles. I have a Tesla and love it,” said King. “That said, he’s been a terrible fit for Twitter. He appears to be making it up as he goes along.”

“Be aware that I never said Musk CREATED Tesla. He didn’t. He just made it a success, against long odds. If you really want to understand how amazing that was, look at the DeLorian,” King continued before adding “But Twitter ain’t cars and Twitter ain’t rockets.”

Time will tell, where this journey will take the king of horror and the visionary car dealing, Twitter-lording Musk.
