It's kind of wild to think now, but Stephen King and Elon Musk used to have fairly light-hearted interactions on X (then Twitter).

Back in 2019, they were talking about the horror author owning a Tesla . Now, seven years later, there's no love lost between them whatsoever.

King and Musk's latest clash came on Sunday, after the Tesla CEO branded Democratic candidate for the US Senate in Texas, James Talarico, a "far-left extremist."

"Elon Musk is afraid of Talarico because he [Musk] has a lot of business in Texas," responded King. "It has nothing to do with principles or programs; for Musk, it's all about the Benjamins."
