U.Today - Elon Musk, serial tech entrepreneur and owner of X, has made a fundamental statement on how efficient X can be for political and business leaders, encouraging them to post on it.

Musk highlights X's major efficiency

Musk has stressed the efficiency of X as opposed to legacy media, where it can be held by the “negativity filter” or may become part of “some reporter’s often unfair hit piece.”

It is certainly possible to “say something silly once in a while, as I do,” Musk admitted. However, he said, that even this would add to the authenticity of the speaker on the X platform.

Besides, the tech billionaire underscored the fact that a message posted on X rather than on a legacy media, “can reach thousands of times more people than a random newspaper article.” He reminded the community that X boasts 600 million active monthly users. Occasionally this number may soar to a whopping one billion people with active accounts who would read that message. The audience rises to that high of a number when there is a real-time crisis happening, he clarified.

Among other major advantages of the X platform, according to Musk, is that the most influential people have active accounts here. Musk admitted that he is not registered on any other social media platforms, and neither are his friends and acquaintances: “I don’t use anything else personally, and the same is true for many people I know.”

What is important is that Musk admitted that he often posts something on X, sometimes “100 times per day,” and that is not a team doing it but himself. Currently, a mind-blowing 201.8 million people follow Musk on X.

Saylor reacts with Bitcoin message, DOGE founder also responds

Vocal Bitcoin advocate Michael Saylor, a cofounder of MicroStrategy, commented on Musk’s tweet in his traditional BTC style – by posting an AI-generated image of himself with a Bitcoin logo featured on it.

This time in the picture, Saylor is seated in a suit, wearing an orange (Bitcoin's color) tie with a BTC logo featured on his laptop lid and a mug on his table. “is a great way to start the day,” Saylor tweeted.

Dogecoin co-creator Billy Markus also responded to Musk’s message, saying: “Most people are scared to be themselves and say what they really feel.”
