Measured over 8 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 26, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 104 interactions against 248K followers, an engagement rate of 0.042%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 44% 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 6.1K times each, and 1.69% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.47% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 8 posts sampled, 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 29K interactions, about 284x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Tom Steyer's engagement rate beats 44% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 58% 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 15:00 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 | 0% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 100% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 0% 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.
- 100% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 267 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.

Donald Trump is not a fan of free and fair elections, but we already knew that. California: We count every ballot. Thank you for your patience as we give democracy time to work. https://t.co/jkBN52ZUC1

Good public transit is key for an affordable, walkable city. That's why I'm riding the D on election day. @metrolosangeles https://t.co/3JvQTLgI2H

I know a lot of people have reservations about voting for a billionaire. I see the ways so many billionaires lie, cheat, and steal to get whatever they can out of the system — and then do everything they can to hoard their wealth and avoid paying taxes. Screw that.

We're going to give democracy the time it needs and count every ballot. We finished strong. To the people of California: there are no people like you. Thank you. https://t.co/qCuC1kWCdn

Reporter: Would you veto the housing bill? Trump: I said I’m not signing it. I made billions of dollars with housing. I know housing better than anybody. Lower interest rates. I don’t want to hurt people that own houses either. These people, for the first time in their lives, they have valuable houses. They become rich. I don’t want to hurt them either.

Corporations have spent over $55 million to stop me. That’s the most outside spending in a primary in the history of this state. Because I'm running on a not-so-radical idea: California should work for working people.

- What is Tom Steyer's engagement rate on X?
- Tom Steyer (@TomSteyer) has an engagement rate of 0.042%, based on the median interactions across 8 original posts from the last 30 days against 247,561 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.042%, Tom Steyer sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,582 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 @TomSteyer have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 44% 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 @TomSteyer post?
- Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.3 posts per day across the measured window.
