If one of Musk's goals was to get people to read his own posts, he's already succeeded, since his posts have dominated the platform ever since.

According to data compiled by social media tracking firm NewsWhip, Musk has written seven of the top eight, ten of the top 15 and 49 of the top 100 since he took over as the owner of the micro-messaging service.
His late-night October 27 "the bird is freed" message was the most popular of the past eight weeks.
Musk's next three most popular posts are a grab bag of brief comments, the first of which was "Comedy is now legal on Twitter" on October 28.
There are four posts about the World Cup that have made it in the 14 most popular since Musk took over.
The two polls that appeared among the top 100 since October 27 were tied to major company policy decisions. His November 18 poll asking if he should step down as head of the social network came in as the 23rd most popular, with 1.1 million interactions. After a majority of people voted to let him back on, Trump's account was restored, though the former president did not use it. Musk remains in charge of the company despite a majority of respondents voting for him to step down. As soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job, I'll step down as CEO. The poll ended.
Musk's $44 billion deal to buy Twitter, the dramatic back-and-forth over Musk's attempts to pull out of the agreement and the billionaire's seemingly chaotic management style after taking over the company attracted a significant amount of media attention. As of Friday, his follower count on the micro-messaging service was 122.8 million, up from 81.5 million on April 14.
Many of Musk's decisions have deviated from the ideal of allowing all speech permissible by law. The account that was banned used publicly available information to track the location of Musk's private plane. Several high-profile journalists were banned the next day for posting links to the jet tracker, but most were also strong critics of Musk. Last week, Mastodon's account was suspended, as well as accounts on a number of other social networks. A majority of users said "yes" when Musk asked if they should be allowed back in.
Musk is the second-wealthiest person on the planet with a net worth of more than $150 billion, thanks to his stake in the electric car company. Musk became the world's richest person by a wide margin, but his wealth has fallen as the price of his company's stock has fallen.
The accounts of several high-profile journalists have been suspended.
