Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 1 original post for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 8.8K interactions against 628K followers, an engagement rate of 1.40%. Posts are seen about 179K times each, and 4.90% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 28.6% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.07 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 7% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 240K interactions, about 27x its own typical post. Only 1 original post have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 01:00 UTC, and Saturday 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.

I’ve mentioned something like this before, but, if any of my companies goes public, we will prioritize other longtime shareholders of my other companies, including Tesla. Loyalty deserves loyalty.

I am currently on an 8 hour flight to France and it has Starlink Wi-Fi… Holy crap. This is the best thing in the world, everyone on this flight is scrolling, streaming, and they are sooooo happy. I’ve never experienced this before on a plane, it is magical.

A big shift is starting to happen. People are buying Tesla vehicles because FSD is great. Tesla FSD v14 is going to accelerate this.
