Stephen King has delivered a warning to his fans about Elon Musk and the influence that the billionaire has over the president-elect, Donald Trump.
The United States is bracing itself for a second Trump presidency, with his inauguration date set for 20 January. However, unlike his previous tenure from 2017 until 2021, Trump is now joined, virtually hand-in-hand, with the increasingly controversial Musk.
Republicans have also called for South African-born Musk to be the new speaker of the House amid contentious negotiations over a spending deal to avoid a government shutdown.
Now Stephen King has sent a warning to his fans on Threads, about Musk, explaining why the 53-year-old can never become president but is clearly having a major impact on the future of the country.
King wrote: “You can’t call Elon Musk the President-elect, because he wasn’t elected. In fact, having been born in Pretoria, he is ineligible to become president. Nonetheless, he is running the show. You know that, but it bears repeating.”
n response to his post, his readers have expressed their horror at King’s statement, calling it scarier than any of his novels.
One person wrote: “This real life is eminently scarier than any of the books of yours that I’ve read. I hate it. Can I just try to first fight Pennywise or Cujo? You could write a book about Elon called maximum over-fried.”
A second fan said: “This is definitely one horror story that needs a good Stephen King finish!”
A third person added: “Scary s*** this. And as a South African I’m a tad embarrassed.”
