&gt; Of the 153,209,283 X accounts following Musk at the time the data was collected, around 42 percent of Musk&#x27;s followers, or more than 65.3 million users, have zero followers on their own account. Just over 72 percent, or nearly 112 million, of these users following Musk have less than 10 followers on their account.<p>What conclusions can we even draw from this? I have a Twitter account with zero followers.

If I&#x27;d have to guess median flower and following count for Twitter users, I&#x27;d say they&#x27;re both below ten. So the only thing I&#x27;m wondering about is the low tweet count. What this article lacks is a comparison to other celebrities&#x27; followers.

Always thought something shady about his follower count.

Not really insightful. My account was also one with no tweets and no followers for 5 years though I did actively use twitter to read stuff and follow people i liked.<p>The article is trying hard to create a news where there is none as I guess majority of people are like this and only use it to read and follow intresting people.
