“Elon Musk’s ‘Immature’ Reply to Stephen King’s Critique Sparks Heated Online Debate – Here’s What You Missed!”
The American spacecraft manufacturer just delivered satellites into space that caught fire and tipped over while landing, leading to a government investigation.
“Oops,” Stephen, who has notably criticized the billionaire before, wrote on his X post, which amassed 4 million views. “SpaceX launches are on hold after a booster rocket toppled over in flames while landing Wednesday.”
Elon was seemingly left offended by the 76-year-old author’s dig. And on August 29, the 53-year-old CEO of Tesla hit back on X with a vulgar AI-generated image.

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.
