[ad_1]

Twitter CEO Elon Musk and horror fiction writer Stephen King exchanged yet another round of tweets with the author expressing a preference for the platform as it was before the Tesla Inc TSLA chief executive purchased it.

What Happened: King said, “I think I liked Twitter better in the pre-Musk days. Less controversy, more fun.”

Musk responded with a “ghost” emoji which is symbolic of a “Boo!”

In a now-deleted tweet, Musk said “I’m still a fan of you [to be honest].”

Why It Matters: Musk and King interacted earlier this month after the entrepreneur slapped a price tag on Twitter verification. 

The monetization of the blue badges led to a host of celebrities expressing their dismay at Musk. Musk had told King earlier that Twitter needed the move to “pay the bill somehow!”

Others that opposed Musk’s $8 price tag for the tick mark included journalist Kara Swisher and Vlogger Hank Green who described Musk’s move as “100% cringe.”

Ethereum ETH/USD co-creator Vitalik Buterin too came out against the verification badge on a paid basis and said it would damage its “anti-scam role.”
