elon Musk‘sโ X Activity Reveals Heavy Focus โฃon Politicsโ and Self-Promotion
New York, NY – โฃA recent analysis of Elon Musk’s โactivity on the social media platform X,โฃ formerly โTwitter, reveals the billionaireโฃ spends a significant amount of time posting aboutโค politics, often engaging with โฃfringe viewpoints,โ andโ promotingโ himself. Theโข findings, reported by NBCโฃ News’s David Ingram, offer a data-backed look into Musk’s prolific and often controversial online โpresence.
Between โSeptember 17thโ and October 17th, Musk posted 1,716โ times -โค averaging over 55 posts per day.Nearly half, 49 percent,โค of those posts centered on political topics, frequently โveering into extreme or โขunsubstantiated claims. Ingram’s analysis also highlighted Musk’s focus on the race of individuals in entertainment, including criticism directed at โขchild actors.
Theโฃ data underscores observations about Musk’s online behavior, providing concrete figures to โsupport the perception of frequent political commentary and self-promotion. Over the 30-day period,Musk posted about himself 109 times,and routinely amplified posts fromโข accounts dedicated solely to praising him. โคthis pattern โคsuggests a deliberate effort to cultivateโ a specific online image and โฃreinforceโค his public persona.
Musk’s ownership โof X โคhas been marked โby significant changes to the platform’s policies and content moderation practices, raisingโ concerns about the spread โof misinformation and hate speech. This latest analysisโ offers a glimpse into the contentโ being prioritized – or at least, personally promoted -โ by the platform’s owner, adding another layerโฃ to โขthe ongoing debate surrounding its direction.
