While King didn't outright say he owned a Tesla, it's quite possible that he does, especially since Musk replied and thanked him for "owning a Tesla."

As far as we know, this could be two famous men just chatting on Twitter or it could be good old paid-for advertising, but it's still notable. King is famous for many novels, but one that comes to mind now is Christine, a story about a car gone evil. And with Tesla's ever-improving machine learning capabilities... well, you could certainly say that it's smarter than a 1958 Plymouth Fury, and by extension, more dangerous -- should it go sentient and decide to pursue evil.
As for the fart app King is referring to, it was added to Tesla cars in a Dec. 2018 update, alongside a new driving game and a special "romance mode." The app is more elaborate than one would assume, giving users a solid assortment of different fart sounds as well as the option to position fart sounds within the car.
