In a recent tweet, the tech mogul shared the “top 10 most followed Twitter accounts” with A-list celebrities and political figures like former US President Barack Obama, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga.
“Most of these ‘top’ accounts rarely tweet and post very little content,” Musk wrote. It prompted him to ask users, “Is Twitter dying?”
Musk, who is an avid Twitter user and tweets almost daily, is also one of the most followed characters on the platform. He is ranked 8th on the list and has a fanbase of more than 81 million.
This number is lower than other well-known personalities such as Justin Bieber with more than 114 million followers and Taylor Swift with more than 90 million.
But Musk was keen to highlight her lack of recent commitment to the platform. “For example, @taylorswift13 hasn’t posted anything in 3 months,” Musk said. “And @justinbieber has only posted once this entire year,” he added.
Last month, however, Musk criticized the platform after saying Twitter had failed to “uphold the principles of free speech.” This prompted him to consider setting up his own social media platform, Musk told users.
