Horror icon Stephen King became the latest celebrity to mock billionaire Elon Musk following his move to reinstate former Republican President Donald Trump to Twitter.

Conservatives had for months called for Musk to reinstate Trump to the platform, which meant lifting a ban Twitter had imposed on Trump in the days following the events of January 6, 2021, the day a mob of Trump's supporters attacked the nation's seat of government on the false premise that the 2020 general election had been stolen.

Musk finally caved into those demands and decided to reinstate Trump to Twitter after polling its users, then suggested the decision to bring Trump back was done in the spirit of democracy, exposing himself to criticism from celebrities like musicians Jack White and Trent Reznor.

King—known for revolutionizing the horror genre with hits like Carrie, The Stand and The Shining—began his criticism of Musk's recent behavior by posting the following dad joke:

"I had to take my biscuits to the doctor. They felt crummy."

To his credit, he acknowledged that the joke was "pretty bad."

Then came this zinger:

"Speaking of bad jokes, Elon Musk says Trump can get back on Twitter."

Though Musk has officially reinstated Trump to Twitter, Trump has opted not to join the platform, preferring to devote his time to his own social media site, a conservative playground and Twitter clone called Truth Social.

But that didn't make King's disdain for Musk any less funny, as far as Twitter users were concerned.



King has long been an advocate for liberal policies and infamously criticized Republicans ahead of their decision to officially name Trump as the GOP's presidential nominee in 2016, saying that they'd given a platform to a "thin-skinned racist with the temperament of a 3-year-old."

In the last couple of years, he has become one of the more prominent voices on social media to regularly admonish Trump for pushing the lie that the 2020 general election was stolen.

Maren Morris Speaks Out About Impact Gender Stereotypes Have On Kids After 'Heated' Clash With Guy At Party

It may be 2026, but some people still hold very deeply-rooted prejudices about gender roles and gender expectations. Just show a young boy with fingernail polish or a young girl with very short hair, and see the judgment written all over some people's faces.

Though the southern United States and much of the country music genre are still known for perpetuating gender stereotypes, country singer Maren Morris from Nashville is arguing against these stereotypes and is warning parents of the negative impact they have on children.

Jesuit Priest Epically Blasts Pete Hegseth's Claim That God Is Providing 'Miraculous Protection' To U.S. Soldiers In Iran War

James Martin, a Jesuit priest and the editor-at-large of America Magazine, criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after Hegseth proclaimed that God is on the side of U.S. troops in President Donald Trump's war in Iran.

Hegseth gave God “all the glory” for America’s military actions in Iran, which this week agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Israel after Trump threatened to destroy all of Iranian civilization in its entirety in remarks legal scholars and observers said constituted threatening war crimes.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.
