Stephen King has seemingly mocked Elon Musk on X/Twitter over the app’s new AI chatbot.The renowned horror author, known for writing the novels behind the blockbuster movies It, The Shining and Carrie, took to the app to share his feelings about its recent name change.Last week, King, 76, posted a tweet saying, “This X shit’s got to go” referring to the controversial rebranding of the 17-year-old social media app.But on Sunday, Musk tweeted announcing his newest AI chatbot, Grok, and King responded to the tweet in a way that could be described as trolling.Big whoop.

https://t.co/uaULSjT8Or— Stephen King (@StephenKing) November 5, 2023King quoted Musk’s “Just released Grok” tweet with a simple, “Big whoop.” This seemed to amuse Musk who responded with two laughing emoji symbols and an offer, “Wanna try it?”, to which King hasn’t yet responded..

‘Barbie’ Writer Noah Baumbach Doesn’t Understand People Who Claim The Film Is “Anti-Men”: “I Felt Men Could Take It”

There have been quite a few hot takes revolving around “Barbie.” This is just something that happens to any film that turns into a surprisingly massive hit and the biggest film (financially) of 2023. But with “Barbie,” it’s also a film that invites all sorts of debate surrounding its social message, which has been twisted by lots of different folks in an attempt to claim the film isn’t just feminist but it’s also “anti-men.” READ MORE: ‘Barbie’: Noah Baumbach Thought The Film Was A “Terrible Idea” When Greta Gerwig Signed Up For It In a new interview with “60 Minutes,” “Barbie” co-writer Noah Baumbach talked about the film being perceived as “anti-men.” And not surprising at all, the writer, who co-wrote the film alongside director Greta Gerwig, doesn’t think his film has some sort of anti-man agenda.

Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo first met 28 years ago, through their girlfriends at the time, before hunting a serial killer in David Fincher’s “Zodiac,” and well before battling Thanos in Marvel’s “Avengers” movies. The milage on their friendship shows in their shared enthusiasm for their electrifying performances this year: Downey in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” as the calculating U.S. Atomic Energy Commission official Lewis Strauss, and Ruffalo in Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” as Duncan Wedderburn, an unscrupulous libertine. Both actors stretched far beyond their well-established movie star personas, and they were eager to ask each other about how they’d done it. Robert Downey Jr.: We really met when Fincher cast us in “Zodiac.” Mark Ruffalo: What a wild ride that was.

White House Slams Elon Musk’s ‘Abhorrent Promotion of Antisemitic and Racist Hate’

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor The White House condemned Elon Musk as promoting “antisemitic and racist hate” after the tech mogul endorsed a conspiracy theory that Jewish people “promote hatred against whites.” On Wednesday, Musk — CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and owner of X — agreed with an X user who promoted the conspiracy theory that Jewish communities “have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.” In the now-removed post, the X user said they were “deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest shit now about western Jewish populations” who are facing “hordes of minorities that support flooding their country.” In response to that, Musk commented, “You have said the actual truth.” In a statement released Friday, White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said, “It is unacceptable to repeat the hideous lie behind the most fatal act of antisemitism in American history at any time, let alone one month after the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust… We condemn this abhorrent promotion of antisemitic and racist hate in the strongest terms, which runs against our core values as Americans. We all have a responsibility to bring people together against hate, and an obligation to speak out against anyone who attacks the dignity of their fellow Americans and compromises the safety of our communities.” Reps for X and Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
