‘The smartest people are on X’— Elon Musk
Elon Musk, the owner of X (formerly Twitter), has said due to the platform’s unique value, it is the home of some of the world’s most intelligent and influential individuals.
According to Musk, despite X being smaller than other major social media networks, its user base includes some of the brightest minds in various fields.
“The smartest people are on X,” Musk said on the platform today while sharing a video containing his earlier remarks about X’s influence.
In the video, Musk emphasized that, although the platform’s user base may not be as large as other social media giants, the quality of the audience sets it apart.
“Although X is smaller than all the other social media networks… Yeah, roughly 5 to 600 million people per month… I think it is 260 million per day,” Musk said in the video.
The figures, while lower than those of competitors like Facebook or Instagram, still represent a massive number of active users. Musk stressed that the real strength of X lies in its ability to reach some of the most influential people on the planet.
“The most influential people in the world are on X. So, if you wanna reach them, that is just the best place to go,” Musk added, reinforcing his point that X serves as a critical platform for those who shape global conversations, from business leaders and politicians to celebrities and innovators.
Musk’s comments reflect his belief in X’s vital role in global discourse. Under his leadership, X has undergone significant changes, including its rebranding from Twitter and the introduction of new features designed to enhance user engagement and experience. Musk’s vision for X is clear: to provide a space where the most influential and brightest minds can connect and communicate.
For businesses and individuals looking to tap into the power of this elite audience, Musk’s remarks highlight the platform’s unparalleled potential to connect with top-tier thinkers and decision-makers. While other platforms may have larger user numbers, Musk’s focus on the quality of the X user base sets the platform apart.
