Elon Musk still thinks he's 'reasonably popular' on Twitter
"There's no such thing as bad publicity, right?
That, it appears, is how Elon Musk views his Twitter shenanigans in relation to his other company, Tesla.

Musk gave an interesting answer. "Let me check my Twitter account," he said. "I've got 127 million followers. It continues to grow quite rapidly. That suggests that I'm, you know, reasonably popular. I might not be popular with some people, but for the vast majority of people, my follower count speaks for itself. I'm the most interacted social media account, maybe in the world, but certainly on Twitter."
