A recent analysis of Elon Musk’s social media activity on the platform X reveals a significant focus on political topics and self-promotion. Over a one-month period, the tech billionaire made nearly two thousand posts, with nearly half dedicated to political commentary often described as fringe or controversial. This data provides concrete evidence of Musk’s online priorities, moving beyond anecdotal observation to measurable patterns.
During the timeframe from mid-September to mid-October, Musk averaged more than 55 posts per day, totaling 1,716 individual entries. The analysis indicates his political posts frequently targeted the racial identity of actors on television and in films, with his commentary even extending to child performers. Beyond politics, his other primary topics of discussion included crime and his electric vehicle company, Tesla.
A notable finding from the review is the frequency of Musk’s self-referential content. He posted about himself 109 times across the thirty days examined. This behavior includes actively reposting content from fan accounts that primarily exist to celebrate his achievements and public persona. While observers have long noted Musk’s tendencies for self-aggrandizement and sharing contentious political opinions, this analysis offers hard data to substantiate these claims, quantifying the extent of his engagement with these specific subjects.
