Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk questioned the future of his partner Twitter after noticing that some of Twitter’s top-follower celebrities were posting very little.
Elon Musk, who was invited to Twitter’s board of directors, quoted a tweet that ranked the Twitter accounts with the most followers. Musk said that many of Twitter’s top accounts are not active on the platform, asking if this is a sign that Twitter is “dead.”
Interesting question from Elon Musk: Is Twitter dying?
Accounts with the most followers on Twitter include former US President Obama, pop singers Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga, and football player Cristiano Ronaldo. “Many of the top accounts rarely tweet and post very little content,” Musk said in a statement. Is Twitter dying?” said.
Stating that Taylor Swift has not shared any content in the last three months Musk found it odd that Justin Bieber only posted once throughout the year.
As you know, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Musk bought 9.2 percent of Twitter last week. Twitter shares gained more than 25 percent after this news.
Musk currently controls approximately 73.5 million shares of the company, which means he is the largest shareholder of Twitter. Musk’s purchase comes about a week after he criticized Twitter for its freedom of speech.
Twitter has attracted attention with its censorship practice many times in recent years. For example, it suspended The Babylon Bee, which produces jokes, for awarding the “Man of the Year” award to the Biden-run transgender woman Rachel Levine.
Twitter also caused a great controversy when former US President Trump suspended his account during the January 6 Capitol attacks.
It should also be reminded that Elon Musk does not have the authority to decide on Twitter policies, even if he is on the board of directors. Members of the board are responsible for guiding policy and providing feedback.
