The Rise of Elon Musk's Social Media Influence

Elon Musk, recognized as the wealthiest individual globally, commands a dedicated following on Twitter. His influence over the platform has grown, especially with the potential acquisition of Twitter, which could elevate him to the ranks of creator-CEOs, similar to Jeff Bezos with the Washington Post.

In a recent incident, Musk publicly confronted Bill Gates over his short-selling of Tesla stock, leading to a leaked conversation that sparked a meme frenzy on Twitter.

Musk's meme likened Gates to the pregnant man emoji, not only fat-shaming him but also appropriating queer culture. The pregnant man emoji symbolizes trans men who can become pregnant and serves as a representation of diversity and LGBTQIA rights, rather than a tool for mockery.
