Elon Musk Urges Stephen King to Respect Twitter's Name Change

Elon Musk demanded that author Stephen King stop "deadnaming" on Twitter, referring to the use of a transgender person's former name. Musk's request came after King referred to a trans woman by her previous name in a tweet. The term "deadnaming" is considered disrespectful and harmful to transgender individuals, as it undermines their gender identity. The incident sparked a conversation about the importance of using individuals' chosen names and respecting their gender identity.
