Palmer Luckey engagement report
@PalmerLuckey - 1.3M followers on X
Measured over 11 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 26, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 5.4K interactions against 1.3M followers, an engagement rate of 0.423%. Measured over 11 original posts, its engagement rate beats 90% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 296K times each, and 1.81% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 23.4% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.4 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 70% of days. Most posts go out around 05:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 11 posts sampled, 55% carry an image or video and 27% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 50K interactions, about 6.3x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Palmer Luckey's engagement rate beats 90% 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 64% 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 05:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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 | 55% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 27% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | -3% | -3% to -2% | 54K |
- 55% 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.
- 27% 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 150 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below the same accounts' other posts.
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.

We need a bit more shame. People used to avoid certain self-interested behaviors to avoid shame, private and public. Law and customs assumed this. Now, 38% of Stanford students claim to be disabled. 40% of young women (under 35) claim mental illness, and SSI disability payments have gone up 400% in a single generation. It isn't good for anyone, least of all people who are actually disabled, when everyone looks the other way as friends and family and peers con the system with a level of shamelessness no architect of our safety net ever imagined could be possible in America. When everyone is disabled, nobody is.

Everyone watching Iran's state-run TV news program probably noticed they picked up an Anduril Dive-LD, our mass-produced attritable submarine. This particular vehicle has been swimming in CENTCOM for months, successfully operating in support of American forces for thousands of hours. It was explicitly designed to operate in environments too dangerous for humans where capture is an expected possibility. I can't get into the details, but it provided significant value for months before capture. Rest in peace, little buddy.

The architects of our globalized economy, the very same people who sold out us out, are now pretending we don't have to compete with the rest of the world on AI. Can't have it both ways, brudda.

I will donate $100,000 to @hasanthehun's fundraising campaign for early prisoner release if he allows @iFixit to tear apart the collar his dog has been wearing on Twitch and verify it isn't a shock collar.

When politicians say they want to seize/tax "wealth" but actually mean "shares in your own company that you yourself founded", the real point is making it impossible for anyone to actually control their own company for more than a decade. They won't let you stay, either.

Everyone who thinks AI slop will ruin code efficiency/performance is going to be so surprised when everything is absurdly well-optimized John Carmack style machine code.

Angry Twitch streamers are trying to cancel other Pokemon streamers because ModRetro "arms the IDF", "kills Palestinians", etc. The funny thing is that while I do personally support Israel and the continued existence of a Jewish state, neither Anduril nor ModRetro have actually sold anything to them. Twitch/Amazon, on the other hand... Nothing screams low-information voter quite like pleading with people to Stand with Palestine and Stop Genocide by subbing to their Twitch, lmao
