Stephen King asks Twitter CEO Elon Musk to give his blue tick to charity, later praises him – Times of India
Clarifying that he hadn’t paid for Twitter’s blue tick on his account, King had tweeted on April 21, 2023:
My Twitter account says I’ve subscribed to Twitter Blue. I haven’t.
My Twitter account says I’ve given a phone number. I haven’t.— Stephen King (@StephenKing) April 20, 2023
Later on Sunday, April 22, King asked Musk to donate the money the latter had paid for King’s account to charity. “I think Mr. Musk should give my blue check to charity. I recommend the Prytula Foundation, which provides lifesaving services in Ukraine. It’s only $8, so perhaps Mr. Musk could add a bit more,” King had tweeted.
Responding to this, Musk said in a tweet, “I’ve donated $100M to Ukraine, how much have you donated? (We turned down the DoD money btw)”.
Musk’s revelation seems to have impressed King, as he later praised him for the charity. “Musk has given $100 million to Ukrainian charities. Excellent. Slava Ukraini!,” King had said.
Meanwhile, after removing the blue tick from several accounts on Twitter, the micro-blogging site resumed it for free on Sunday for those who had over one million or more followers.
