Left-wing horror author Stephen King yesterday demanded that Elon Musk “better” have a good explanation for why he suspended “journalists” from Twitter.
The demand came in a tweet where King asked, “Why have journalists had their Twitter accounts suspended?”
“Please explain. And it had better be a GOOD explanation,” King demanded.
King received a number of responses from various conservatives who mocked King for making such a demand.
Conservative show host Dan O’Donnell explained, “Because Twitter isn’t the government. Twitter is a private corporation.”
“I thought you guys LOVED censoring problematic accounts,” O’Donnell jested as he shared a previous tweet from King where he had once mocked Arkansas GOP Gov.-elect Sarah Sanders for decrying a loss of her followers.
King said at the time, “The Chinese government shut down the Internet. Twitter isn’t the government. Twitter is a private corporation. I thought you guys LOVED private enterprise.”

Conservative lawyer Ron Coleman told King, “Freedom of speech yeah but not freedom from consequences hur-dur.”
“Hey wait a minute – what are YOU still doing here?” Coleman wondered.
Another Twitter user replied to Coleman by mocking the “journalists” and said, “‘Akshuuuullly, it’s only doxxing if they do it to us’ – Journos.”

Previously, we reported that Musk said he enacted the suspensions because the offending accounts violated the doxxing policy.

On the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson many years ago, Johnny asked guest Stephen King – the “king of horror fiction”, what actually scares you?” King’s reply, “I would say, that the monster in me will get out.” Apparently, it’s allowed out a lot more often these days in the guise of an unhinged liberal.
