Stephen King is one of those authors on earth whose opinion is highly valued. He has given the world some of the greatest stories, and many of the creators have adapted them into fantastic films.

However, later on, Elon Musk confirmed that he was paying for King’s blue ticks from his pocket. Once again, the author is in the news, but this time for a different reason.
