Elon Musk encourages political leaders post on X directly & bypass media filters

Elon Musk: There must be some reason why 169 million people follow me. I must be keeping them amused in some way. “I do post a lot on the 𝕏 platform, sometimes 100 times a day. So, once in a while, I'll do something dumb, for sure.

But I really try to say things that I think are interesting or funny. There must be some reason why 169 million people follow me. I guess, I don't know. I must be keeping them amused in some way.

Amuse, entertain, have opinions on something. Sometimes they're wrong, sometimes they're right.

Community Notes applies to me as well as it applies to anyone else. If I say something that's incorrect or not full-context, then Community Notes will correct me very quickly.

But it's only me doing these posts, ever. I don't have a team or anything.

In fact, I generally would recommend for leaders of the world to just literally post your own stuff. And once in a while, you make a mistake. Don't worry about it. Can't win them all. Nobody bats a thousand.”
