American writer Stephen King has proposed that Twitter owner Elon Musk transfer money spent on a blue check mark for verifying the writer’s page on the social network to Serhii Prytula’s Charity Fund [Prytula is a Ukrainian public and political figure, who since the beginning of the full-scale invasion focused on fundraising money for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine – ed.]
Source: King on Twitter
Quote: “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.”
Details: After Musk took over Twitter, the company introduced the “Twitter Blue” paid subscription. On 20 April, Twitter started to delete the blue verification checkmark of the users who haven’t subscribed to Twitter Blue, which costs USD$8 monthly.
King wrote that his account stated he was subscribed for Twitter Blue, although this is not the case.
Then, Musk stated that he would personally pay for King’s blue checkmark, as well as the ones belonging to LeBron James and William Shatner in order to preserve the verification badge on their accounts.
Journalists fight on their own frontline. Support Ukrainska Pravda or become our patron!

Right on, Mr. King!
One of America’s biggest “alt-right” (actually code for pro-putler/pro-Trump) sites is Breitbart. Republican strategists believe that 5% of their supporters are yearning for a putler victory. You can see fucking hordes of these creatures in the comments pages of Breitbart, which runs as many putlerite articles as it can, in order to pander to these bastards.
When IRA (internet research agency) scum “pranked” Mr King, Breitbart absolutely crowed about it, as well as making sick, horribly slanderous claims about Stepan Bandera. Breitbart, like Fucker Karlsonov, is just an extension of RaT. In the call, Mr King said exactly the same things about Stepan Bandera that I would have.
“King, a frequent critic of conservatives and all-around Trump hater, found himself roped into a discussion about Nazi sympathizers in Ukraine like the Azov battalion and the country’s admiration for Stepan Bandera, who infamously collaborated with the Nazis during WWII and helped in the extermination of Jews in Ukraine.”

Opposition to Putler’s Holocaust in Ukraine should be universal and unequivocal. Yet in the west it’s turning into a battle between a coalition of genuine conservatives and genuine liberals versus a coalition of far left, far right and populist politicians and regimes worldwide. The horseshoe of politics ensures that, when it comes to Ukraine, far left scum like Lula are all on the same page as far right scum like Carson and populist right scum like Trump.
Musk is a ruSSian asset. He is a danger.
Yes, besides being an asshole.
