Elon Musk seems to be the modern-day live action version of comic book character Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr. in Marvel Cinematic Universe), as he makes his way through some major industries like electric cars and spaceships - and, among many other fans, there's one more that the world hadn't counted on: Tesla's Stephen King!
A few days ago, the author of horror classics like "Misery" and "Carrie" made headlines in the U.S. after Paul LePage, the Governor of Maine (where King has lived all his life and sets most of his novels and short stories) accused him of evading taxes in the state - now, in much more pleasant news, it seems like Tesla and Stephen King are true buddies!
According to The Verge, the Tesla Stephen King love doesn't stop at just driving one of the famous electric-powered cars, the 67 year-old writer even races with it!
It's unclear exactly what model Tesla is Stephen King driving around, but the "Green Mile" author certainly seems excited over not only helping the environment and saving on gas but also going at super fast speeds with his eco-friendly vehicle created by billionaire Elon Musk.
CNN reports that the discovery of the Tesla Stephen King love came out as the author talked about his car on Twitter, saying he'd taken the vehicle to a dragstrip where it reached 60 miles per hours in a matter of seconds, something that made him feel like he was piloting a "Star Wars" ship.
"Took my Tesla out to a dragstrip last week and ran the 1/4 mile," the iconic author tweeted. "112 MPH, 0 to 60 in 4 seconds. Like driving an X-Wing fighter."
He's not the only celebrity to jump on the eco-friendly car bandwagon, and Ranker.com lists a number of A-list celebrities that own Tesla Motors cars, including Oscar-nominated actor Leonardo DiCaprio, Zooey Deschanel, Shakira and megastar George Clooney.
Hopefully, the Tesla Stephen King is driving will be revealed soon!
