Musk, a billionaire who recently became Twitter's largest shareholder and director of ST, tweeted today whether the social platform is "dying", specifically naming singer Justin Jr. and others, saying that although these people have many account followers, they rarely post.
Agence France-Presse reported that Elon Musk tweeted on Twitter that the top few account tweets were few and far between. He also made a list of the top ten fans, of which he himself ranked 8th with 81 million followers.
Former U.S. President Barack Obama topped the list with 131 million followers, followed by Canadian singer Justin Bieber, American singer Katy Perry, American pop singer Rihanna, Portuguese soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, and Taylor Swift and lady Gaga.
Ranked 9th and 10th are Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the @TheEllenShow accounts of well-known talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.
Musk tweeted: "Is Twitter dying? "
Musk went on to say, "For example, Thales' account has not had any posts @taylorswift13 for 3 months, while Justin Jr. has only posted once a year. "
Musk announced on the 4th that he held a 9.2% stake in Twitter, becoming the largest shareholder of Twitter, and entered the board of directors on the 5th.
Musk said he expects "major reforms to Twitter" in the near future. He also asked followers whether to add an "edit" button to Twitter; a change that had been discussed for a long time and now Twitter will begin testing.
Musk also uploaded a photo of him smoking marijuana on the 2018 podcast show of Joe Rogan on Twitter on the 7th, and tweeted: "Twitter's next board meeting will be very interesting." "
