5. Okay..thx but he was originally kicked off and frankly, it's funny as hell, especially coming from Mr King

[BlueKota]

65. Apparently it originated as a joke on a satire account that

people didn't realize was trying to make a joke. I fell for it at first yesterday.

[Silent Type]

3. Appears this may be fake news, as far as King being banned. His statement sounds true, though.

4. F Xshitter

Shithole platform

[Jk23]

6. True or not that is really funny

You know it's all reminds me that the best claim we made against the opponent this season was a ridiculous lie about his VP f****** furniture.

Sometimes I think we need to do more of that.

[rubbersole]

11. F*ck the furniture?

OK. I'll try it. No long term commitment though.

[Kid Berwyn]

7. Dipshit

Wait until Bitcoin replaces the dollar, he'll be jumping all right.

[canetoad]

45. I hope he gives himself

A really bad hernia doing star jumps at his age and in his condition.

[Emrys]

61. Before the election, he was paranoid on Twitter about needing SS protection if Trump won

Which was a bit odd, because whenever he pranced around on stage, I kept flashing on this:

[Faux pas]

28. Nailed it

[highplainsdem]

29. He's still on Twitter, but there's no sign of that tweet.

[PortTack]

31. Here ya go

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTFoD76mm/

[highplainsdem]

34. Look at reply 2. There's zero evidence on Twitter of such a tweet from King, which would have had

lots of accounts circulating screenshots. There's no evidence he was banned. Just a lot of talk of something he supposedly did, and how Musk supposedly reacted.

[niyad]

30. I am disgusted. True or not, calling leon a woman as an insult is sickeningly sexist.

[SupportSanity]

54. And truly an insult to women!

[niyad]

56. YES!!! I had fogotten to add that.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

32. Alpha male wannabe Elmo Meloon is afraid someone might doubt his masculinity. . . . nt

[pansypoo53219]

33. emo musk is a humorless putz. FREE SPEECH MY ASS. fuck emo.

[ificandream]

35. Fake news. His account is still on Twitter. I just followed it. The OP should delete their post.

FACT CHECK: No, Elon Musk Did Not Ban Stephen King From X

A post shared on Threads claims X owner Elon Musk has banned author Stephen King from his platform.

View on Threads

Verdict: False

This claim is inaccurate. It originates as satire.

King made an X post calling out Musk, saying the “Musk-man” has posted an abundance of “pro-Trump disinformation and outright lies,” according to Mashable. Musk has shown plenty of support for Trump recently, endorsing him in July and donating millions to a pro-Trump PAC, the outlet reported.

A Threads post claims Musk has banned King from his platform. It shows headshots of Musk and King, both in suits.

(snip)

This claim is inaccurate. King’s X account is still active at the time of writing. Additionally, there are no credible news reports to corroborate the claim.

[PortTack]

48. 1460 days with a new terror everyday from t-rump. No breaks on holidays. So if the OP gave some of my fellow DUers

Something to laugh at, ease the tension, instead of feeling hopelessness and despair then great. So no, i will not be taking the post down!

If you look at the 3rd or 4th post here I thanked the person for their input about the meme not being true, but it was funny as hell! Others seemed to think so too.

You obviously lost your sense of humor. “all one can do when the devil smiles at us is smile back!” Geez

[highplainsdem]

49. This is NOT funny for any DUers who spread this misinformation elsewhere and are likely to get called

out for it.

And it makes DU look bad to have misinformation left in an OP that is ONLY being recced because people think it's true.

This is really pathetic.

[PortTack]

53. Sorry you feel that way...I guess I'm being called out and I stand by how I feel. Humor is still a valuable tool

[highplainsdem]

57. So make it clear in the OP that this was not real. There's no "humor" in your deceiving other DUers,

especially when they might spread the misinformation. You've been deliberately tricking DUers with that OP ever since you found out it was incorrect.

[Polybius]

67. Should be a new rule on DU

No more fake news.

[DemonGoddess]

43. bwahahahaha

[Blue for the win]

44. Lady Musk

I've started to refer to him as Lady Musk, And I hear Melania is jealous that another woman may take her place

[Dave Bowman]

47. Lady Musk sounds like the name of a perfume.

[niyad]

63. are you okay with the sexist nature of that intended insult?

[canetoad]

46. Stephen King

Is on BlueSky @stephenking.bsky.social

[proud patriot]

50. I just follwed him on bluesky

[AfternoonJoe]

51. Well...

Insulting a manbaby has consequences. Sure hope there is more to come on this wonderful "free speech platform" Elon has made possible. Bring it on!

[Demovictory9]

52. Lol

Elon sure is fragile

[WhiskeyGrinder]

55. misgendering as a joke/insult is transphobic/misogynistic

[highplainsdem]

58. King didn't post that, and he was never banned. The OP should have been deleted or corrected hours ago.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

59. I know but a lot of people in this thread are doing it.

[niyad]

64. Thank you . I thought I was the only one!

[arkielib]

68. Stephen King was one of the first people I followed on Bluesky.

Bluesky is SO nice. No Maga trolls.
