Not many people can disable Elon Musk, most of them he doesn't owe - but Stephen King did it.
The acclaimed author, who already took to Twitter a few weeks ago about the intention to charge 8 dollars for account verification, tweeted last weekend "I think I liked Twitter more before the Elon Musk era. There were less scandals and more fun here."
Musk responded with a ghost emoji, and this little story could have ended here, but King did not respond and Musk, who is known to be a man who does not give up, tried to appease and tweeted "I'm still a fan of yours, by the way."
King did not respond again and this time Musk already understood the hint - and simply deleted the tweet.

Another embarrassment was recorded when Musk argued with his sworn enemy Bernie Sanders about insulin prices, shortly after Eli Lilly's stock dropped following a tweet by an impostor who wrote "in her name" that "from now on insulin will be free."
Sanders claimed that insulin prices are too expensive, Musk wrote that they are much lower - and won a fact check on his own website.
Fact checking on Twitter is done when the algorithm identifies fake news distributors.
