Elon Musk is the most followed person on Twitter: what are his most posted tweets
Musk’s $44 billion takeover of Twitter has undoubtedly helped skyrocket his follower count beyond that of Obama. The Twitter boss hit 100 million followers last June, and that number only continued to grow in the following months.
Between the publication of random and sometimes offensive memes, Musk uses his account to communicate various changes coming to Twitter. He also quizzed followers about some big decisions, like getting Donald Trump back on the platform and whether or not Musk should step down as Twitter CEO.
Musk’s Tweets VS Obama’s
Musk’s posting habits are in stark contrast to those of Obamawho uses his account mainly for professional purposes, like promoting an important cause or highlighting some of the work he’s done as president. The same goes for Justin Bieber and Katy Perry, who respectively occupy the third and fourth places among the most followed accounts.
Twitter favors tweets from Elon Musk (and others)
Apparently the Twitter algorithm isn’t as fair as it seems. A doubt that had already arisen when Musk himself promised that posts to subscribers to Twitter Blue they would have had “more visibility”. Last month, then, the situation became grotesque: for a few hours, users saw only Elon Musk’s tweets on their homepage.
To understand more, Platformer has studied the phenomenon. The result is alarming: the Twitter algorithm has a sort of fast track for certain users. The portal reports that not only Elon Musk, but other major accounts, would benefit from what Platformer calls “secret VIP list”. Sure, that sounds like a conspiracy theory. In reality, the phenomenon is anything but unreal, given that Twitter would actually give a boost to certain accounts present in this “list”.
