This comes after King left the platform in November 2024, citing its increasingly &#8220;toxic&#8221; atmosphere under Musk\u2019s ownership. He had encouraged followers to join him on Threads as an alternative.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"307\" data-end=\"559\">On February 21, 2025, King made a surprise return to Twitter, declaring, \u201cI\u2019m baaaack! Did you miss me?\u201d Moments later, he fired off sharp criticism at Trump and Musk, calling Trump a \u201ctraitorous, Putin-loving dips**t\u201d and extending the insult to Musk.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"561\" data-end=\"849\">King\u2019s remarks highlight his ongoing disapproval of the close relationship between Trump and Musk. After Trump\u2019s re-election, Musk was appointed head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a position that has sparked controversy due to Musk\u2019s ineligibility for the presidency.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"851\" data-end=\"1111\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">King\u2019s return and commentary reflect his continued concerns over the intersection of politics and technology, as Musk\u2019s influence grows in both spheres. His critiques resonate with those who worry about the blending of political power and tech moguls\u2019 control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephen King has reignited his criticism of former President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk on Twitter.
