Based purely on information in the Wiki article, Elvis was a well established music star before Michael Jackson was born and received the title "King of Rock & Roll" (probably from a journalist) whilst still in his 20s.
At a much later time, MJ became was known as "The King of Pop".
I would think that most music lovers would recognise the title "The King" as applying to Elvis rather than to MJ, purely because it was applied earlier and used consistently over a very long period.
The Wiki article records that when referred to as "The King of R&R", Elvis retorted that it was Fats Domino who deserved that title.
