Elon Musk spends much of his time reposting and replying to social media posts on X, often with single word comments like “wow,” “truth” or “interesting.”

Musk’s clout as the owner of X and its most influential user means that the posts he interacts with tend to gain widespread attention, often reaching at least a million views.

    The only reason Musk has influence is because he has an audience on Twitter.
    The only reason he has an audience is because people are willing to listen to what he has to say.

    The questions is: who the fuck is interested in what Elon Musk has to say?

    Unfollow him - or whatever ignoring someone on Twitter entails, I’ve never been on Twitter so I don’t know - and Musk will find himself deprived of influence. Just like that.

      Feel like I read at some point that you see his shit even when you don’t follow him and you can’t block him or something.

      Take this with a bucket of salt, though, as I’m unsure.
