Elon Musk was ruthlessly ridiculed
Accompanying the caption “D*ck,” the questionable depiction saw the celebrated writer sitting in a forest with a soaked eggplant awkwardly lodged in his mouth.
In the image, Stephen appears to be surrounded by heaps of cash. In the background, Pennywise the Clown, a character from the author’s iconic novel It, lurks menacingly.
Nevertheless, Elon’s attempt to mock Stephen fell short, as a handful of people slammed the world’s richest man in return. An X user commented: “Do people genuinely think this is funny or are they just part of the incredibly f*****g annoying Elon Musk fanboy group.”
A person sarcastically highlighted: “Why don’t people want to advertise on Twitter anymore?!”
“I feel like he has a team who troll Twitter for accounts who tweet keywords like ‘Elon’ or anything he’s affiliated with who report to him immediately so he can plan a sassy comeback,” someone penned.
A netizen added: “’I drew a picture where you look dumb’ is such a strange attempt at an insult.”
Elon attempted to retaliate against Stephen King
An observer shared: “We will tell our grandchildren what it was like to live in the age of the Sh*tposting Billionaires, and they will hang on our every word.”
A separate individual chimed in: “What makes this infinitely funnier is if you search from:elonmusk @stephenking you’ll find hundreds of awful attempts by musk to engage – legitimately a reply guy on his own website – King hasn’t responded to a single one.”
All cyberjabs aside, Stephen’s remark about SpaceX appears to be one of Elon’s lesser concerns. The spacecraft company’s Falcon 9 rockets have been grounded after falling over and catching fire.
The Federal Aviation Administration grounded the company’s Falcon 9 rockets and ordered an investigation following the predawn accident off the Florida coast, USA, AP News reported on August 28.
While no injuries or public damage has been reported, it is reportedly too early to know how much impact this will have on SpaceX’s upcoming crew flights, one private and the other for NASA.
A billionaire’s chartered flight was delayed just a few hours earlier because of a poor weather forecast, as per AP News.
Stephen took to his X page (formerly known as Twitter) on August 28 to poke fun at SpaceX
Additionally, Elon’s social media platform, X, which he bought in 2022, is facing some setbacks after Brazil’s Supreme Court unanimously upheld a decision to block it this week.
