BORED engagement report
@BoredElonMusk - 1.6M followers on X
Measured over 196 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 25, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 92 interactions against 1.6M followers, an engagement rate of 0.006%. Measured over 196 original posts, its engagement rate beats 27% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 20K times each, and 0.456% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.30% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 11.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 196 posts sampled, 39% carry an image or video and 5% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 126K interactions, about 1370x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #announcement, #daftpunk, #lego.

Compared with accounts its own size
BORED's engagement rate beats 27% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 29% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.006%, BORED sits above the 10th percentile of the 205,261 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.024%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 01:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 39% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 5% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 39% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 5% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 187 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

The world does not need an artificial intelligence that diminishes humanity; rather, it needs human intelligence enlightened by wisdom, political authority guided by conscience and technological innovation directed by charity. Only then will artificial intelligence become not a rival to humanity but a servant of the common good.

The statue of Prometheus is finally finished. It was cast in Paris, crossed the Atlantic, and was assembled at Starbase. It took us 100 days to go from nothing to this. People of the West, we have lived through an era devoid of dreams, devoid of destiny. But the time has come to reclaim our dream of antiquity. In a few months, we will start building a new city. It will be the most magnificent city in all of history. After all, the great dream of the West has always been to rebuild Rome. Come walk beside us in this endeavor. The world is waiting.

What’s happening in Paris and Milan is no surprise to anyone who has spent time around young people in Europe during the 2010s: Virtually all of them were working on their 4th masters degree in social welfare, were unmarried, attended communist dinners every night, and regularly participated in riots. Now the economy is suddenly transforming and they have nothing to show for it.

Researchers at SDU Soft Robotics developed a worm-inspired limbless soft robot with inflatable muscles and a flexible kirigami skin. It can crawl, turn, rotate, and avoid obstacles using controlled body movements and sensors. The robot could be useful for search and rescue, inspection, and exploration.

Drove from L.A. to San Diego. Wildfires across SoCal. Of course our immediate thoughts are with the firefighters battling to keep people and property safe. But honestly, we are so done with these politicians who NEVER take the common sense action to prevent and prepare. I will: https://t.co/I0d1HHe951

- What is BORED's engagement rate on X?
- BORED (@BoredElonMusk) has an engagement rate of 0.006%, based on the median interactions across 196 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,565,870 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.006%, BORED sits above the 10th percentile of the 205,261 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @BoredElonMusk have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 27% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @BoredElonMusk post?
- Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 11.4 posts per day across the measured window.
