On Sunday, Elon Musk shared a list of the 10 most-followed Twitter accounts, taking another dig at Twitter, asking “Is Twitter dying?”
Here’s the series of events from Elon Musk related before Pointing out that the majority of Top 10 Twitter Accounts rarely make posts:
On March 14, Musk took a 9.2% stake in Twitter, making him the company’s majority shareholder.
On March 25, he shared a poll with his followers, asking, “Is free speech necessary for a functioning democracy?” Do you think Twitter follows this principle to the letter?”
Musk, who owns a $3 billion (£2.2 billion) stake in Twitter and has over 4.8 million shares, appears to be annoyed that celebrities don’t use it enough.
On April 9, he posed the question, “Is Twitter dying?” and chastised the most-followed celebrities, such as Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift, for failing to engage and tweet frequently.
Elon Musk’s promise to make “significant” changes to the platform has WOKE Twitter employees “terrified.”
100 Percent FedUp revealed:
There has been a lot of speculation about why Elon became Twitter’s top shareholder. Some believe that he is in it to bring free speech and the spirit of the internet back into the woke website. Perhaps the best way to accomplish that is to convince other board members that the website is dying. And maybe it truly is.
Most of these “top” accounts tweet rarely and post very little content.

Indeed Elon has a point, some of these top accounts, such as Elon’s and Obama’s, post consistently. Others, like Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift, make only a few posts every year.
If these are the top-followed accounts on Twitter and they aren’t generating the content, then what does that really say about the platform’s future?
The outlet speculated about bringing the old way wherein Free Speech is not being censored:
Bringing free speech back to the platform, if that is his plan, may be the cure that Twitter needs. Certainly, allowing more diversity of thought and not generating controversy by silencing real news would help bring people back to the site.
What Twitter believes to be trustworthy news we know to be false given their burying of the Hunter Biden story. Elon Musk’s Tweet also states that “Truth is the First Casualty” perhaps alluding to this very point.
Musk also Tweeted the following chart, showing which news sources Americans allegedly trust most:

As a supporter of free speech, Elon knows that something needs to be changed in the way Twitter’s censorship operates.
