Musk questioned whether or not the popularity of the micro-messaging service was waning.

A-list celebrities and political figures like former US President Barack Obama, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga were among the people the tech mogul shared the top 10 most followed accounts with.

Most of the top accounts don't post a lot of content. He asked users, "Is Twitter dying?"

One of the most followed figures on the platform is Musk, who is an avid user of the platform. He has a following of more than 81 million.

It's less than other well-known figures, like Taylor Swift who has more than 90 million followers.

Musk wanted to highlight their lack of recent engagement with the platform.

Musk bought a big stake in the social-media company. A Securities and Exchange Commission filing shows that the billionaire investor bought 73,486, million shares of the company's stock.

Musk told users that he was considering setting up his own social-media platform after he criticized the platform for failing to abide to free speech principles.

Musk would be following in the footsteps of other notable figures if he built his own platform. Donald Trump launched his platform, Truth Social, in February, and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell launched Frank Speech, which he describes as his version of YouTube.
