After months of speculation, Twitter had removed its iconic blue tick from many celebrity accounts across the world over the weekend. However, Twitter CEO had offered to personally pay for horror writer Stephen King's account by which the latter wasn't much impressed.
Clarifying that he hadn't paid for Twitter's blue tick on his account, King had tweeted on April 21, 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.
