Elon Musk's X Posts Expose His Fascination with Himself and Dubious Politics.
In a recent analysis of Elon Musk's X posts over the past month, NBC News reporter David Ingram has uncovered some shocking insights into the billionaire entrepreneur's online behavior.
According to the data, between September 17th and October 17th, Musk posted an astonishing 1,716 times, with an average of around 55 posts per day. But what's most remarkable is that nearly 49% of these posts were about politics - a significant portion of which appear to be fringe takes.
Musk seems particularly fixated on issues like racial diversity in TV and movies, taking specific aim at child actors. This level of attention to detail might seem petty, but it highlights the extent to which Musk is comfortable pushing boundaries and courting controversy.
But perhaps most revealing are the posts where Musk talks about himself. Over the 30-day period, he shared his own content an astonishing 109 times, often reposting accounts created just to bolster his ego. This self-aggrandizing behavior has long been a hallmark of Musk's online presence, but now there's tangible proof.
The analysis also underscores what we already knew: Musk is not afraid to share dubious political takes or opinions on sensitive topics. His willingness to engage in these conversations, often with little discernible insight or depth, raises questions about his engagement with the public and his responsibility as a high-profile figure.
Musk's posting habits are sure to continue sparking debate, but it's clear that this analysis has offered a fresh perspective into the billionaire's online behavior - one that highlights both the quirks of his personality and the dangers of unchecked self-promotion.

He's always been a bit of a wild card, but this level of posting about himself is just weird. Like, does he really need to repost his own content that much? 
And yeah, the politics stuff is concerning - I don't think we should be surprised by him taking stance on issues, but it's how passionate he is about them and whether he actually listens to opposing views... That's a red flag for me. 
But at the same time, as a public figure, you've gotta expect some level of scrutiny. It's like when you're on Twitter and someone calls you out - do you respond or ignore? It's hard to say what's "right" here, but I think it's good that NBC News is keeping an eye on him. 
And those fringe politics posts... might be just a way for him to spark conversation and get people talking. I mean, someone's gotta keep the discourse going, right? 
Plus, let's be real, it's kinda refreshing to see someone owning their quirks and not caring what others think. Musk may be polarizing, but at least he's consistent! 
. I mean, 109 posts about himself? That's some next level self-love 
. Still, as someone who cares about keeping the conversation civil and respectful, it's hard not to wonder if his actions are having a positive or negative impact on people's perceptions of politics and public figures 
i'm kinda loving how he owns his controversy tho, but at the same time, like 109 posts about himself? okay boo, we get it, ur a genius! 
. and can we talk about how much content he reposts? like, isn't that just ego trip city 
come on, dude, get some facts together before you jump onto social media 
still gotta admire his willingness to speak his mind tho 
That just feels like ego-tripping at its finest.
. Like, who needs 109 posts about yourself? You're basically just creating an endless loop of "Look at me, I'm a genius" videos on X... aka Twitter 
). This self-promotion is just cringeworthy – either get over yourself or take a break, Elon
