Elon Musk, the tech mogul and owner of X, recently shared his thoughts on the platform’s growing efficiency for political and business leaders. Musk emphasized how X bypasses traditional media’s “negativity filter,” offering direct access to a large audience—600 million monthly active users, occasionally surging to one billion during major events. He pointed out that this platform allows users to reach far more people than legacy media, adding that many influential figures, including himself, prefer X over other social media.
Musk further suggested that political and business leaders should post directly on X to ensure their messages remain unfiltered. He revealed his personal commitment to engaging on X, sharing content as often as 100 times a day with no external team involved.
Michael Saylor, co-founder of MicroStrategy and prominent Bitcoin advocate, responded to Musk’s post with his signature Bitcoin flair. Saylor shared an AI-generated image of himself in a suit, showcasing Bitcoin logos on his tie, laptop, and coffee cup, reinforcing his support for the cryptocurrency. His caption read, “𝕏 is a great way to start the day.”
Dogecoin co-creator Billy Markus also chimed in, noting that many people are hesitant to express their true selves online.
