A typical post picks up 1.6K interactions against 1.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.139%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 78% of 3,862 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 103K times each, and 1.59% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 8.71% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.53 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 8 posts sampled, 88% carry an image or video and 13% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 18K interactions, about 11x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #lasvegas, #vegasattractions, #vegasfoodie.

Compared with accounts its own size

The Boring Company's engagement rate beats 78% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,862 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 64% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.139%, The Boring Company sits above the 50th percentile of the 37,701 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.081% to 0.439%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,701 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 104,204 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 01:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 01:00 UTC.

    Elon Musk on why tunnels became reality: “Everyone thought it was a joke. We made it a company” The idea behind The Boring Company is actually simple physics and geometry: Cities are becoming vertically 3D with massive skyscrapers and dense urban centers, yet transportation systems are still mostly trapped in 2D surface streets That mismatch creates unavoidable congestion A fully 3D transport network with tunnels running beneath cities could theoretically scale to almost any traffic level while dramatically reducing surface congestion Elon says there’s still enormous opportunity in tunneling and surprisingly only few companies taking it seriously

    Prufrock builds tunnel rings fully autonomously. Six concrete segments (~3,750 lb each), are lifted, translated and placed into final position. That's the weight of a Tesla Model 3, placed with millimeter precision in < 1 minute, monitored remotely from the Global OCC in Texas. https://t.co/n8qYBiqoom

The Boring Company (@boringcompany) has an engagement rate of 0.139%, based on the median interactions across 8 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,181,808 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.139%, The Boring Company sits above the 50th percentile of the 37,701 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.

It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
