King announced his exit from the platform on Nov. 14, 2024, with a post that said “I’m leaving Twitter. Tried to stay, but the atmosphere has just become too toxic. Follow me on Threads, if you like.” 

Bluesky

King has been critical of President Donald Trump for a while and after his exit from X, he continued to voice his opinion on Bluesky. In a post made a day before joining X, King wrote “Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he’s blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelensky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin’s constant re-elections are put-up jobs.”

He further writes in another post “Trump and Musk are basically ignoring the Constitution they — Trump, at least — took an oath to defend

The Monkey

King made a return to the platform on the day of the release of “The Monkey” which is based on his short story. 

While he has not used the platform to promote his movie until now, his sharp criticism of Trump has gained a lot of traction
