After 11 years and nearly 10,000 posts, Maine author Stephen King says he is leaving the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. “Tried to stay, but the atmosphere has just become too toxic,” the author of “Carrie,” “Pet Sematary” and the Dark Tower series wrote. King amassed 7 million followers since joining the platform in December 2013. On X, King often criticized right-wing policies and politicians, including former Maine Gov. Paul LePage, and railed against Donald Trump.
