Engagement
A typical post picks up 136 interactions against 436K followers, an engagement rate of 0.031%. Measured over 19 original posts, its engagement rate beats 48% of 3,810 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 14K times each, and 0.967% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.23% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.83 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 19 posts sampled, 58% carry an image or video and 32% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 19K interactions, about 141x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Ambassador Mike Waltz's engagement rate beats 48% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,810 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 50% 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 12:00 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.

Rep. Lieu obliterates a snide UN Ambassador Mike Waltz, then calls for his resignation Ted Lieu just put on a masterclass in how to grill an unprepared and evasive witness, beginning by asking Waltz how many US troops have been injured fighting Iran, then closing the trap when Waltz got the answer wrong "It's not surprising to me you didn't know the answer to that. The reason you are here today is because you were fired by the president from your former position as National Security Adviser. You disclosed classified information that harmed American pilots and put them at risk!" After Waltz suggested that some US casualties don't really count because the troops died in a plane crash, Lieu exploded on him: "You don't even know how many US troops were wounded in this Iran War! Shame on you! You are the US ambassador and you don't even know how many US troops are wounded! You should be ashamed! You should resign!" Here's the full exchange:

The Iranian economy is devastated. Their currency is tanking. They have 80-year-high inflation. All thanks to Operation Economic Fury. Secretary Bessent is doing the Lord’s work. https://t.co/szjN8Z1C7e

2025 was the deadliest year for antisemitic attacks outside of Israel in over 30 years. As one of his first executive orders of this term, @POTUS directed his Administration to fight antisemitism in the US and around the world. We have defunded, withdrawn from, and sanctioned UN entities who have engaged in antisemitism. The U.S. Mission to the United Nations is doing our part every day to expose, confront, and defeat this hatred. https://t.co/lMl2xMgGbB

U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz, wouldn’t answer for the human cost of the policies he supports. We asked him to look at the faces of children killed in Iran. The American people deserve a foreign policy that values human life. https://t.co/e0xdYeQzZX

Remember the Security Council's pledge: Gaza cannot sustainably rebuild while Hamas retains the ability to plunge it back into war. We will be frozen in a cycle of humanitarian aid rather than rebuilding until Hamas disarms and demilitarizes. https://t.co/1b1KzVVKDN

For the first time in modern history a new future for Gaza without war or terrorist overlords is credibly in reach. To get there, we all must implement the 15-point plan for Hamas to disarm. https://t.co/I1Yv1aU6ks

Fourteen years ago today, Austin Tice was abducted in Syria while doing his job as an American journalist. Assad is gone. His prisons have been opened. But Austin is still not home. President Trump has made clear that America does not forget its people. We must bring Austin home. @FreeAustinTice @DebraTice @JuliaNesheiwat

Outstanding to meet with Board of Peace High Representative @nmladenov. He is a key partner in the work to secure Gaza's future, rid Hamas of its weapons, restore basic governance under a Committee of Palestinian technocrats, and build a real foundation for stability in the Middle East.

- What is Ambassador Mike Waltz's engagement rate on X?
- Ambassador Mike Waltz (@USAmbUN) has an engagement rate of 0.031%, based on the median interactions across 19 original posts from the last 30 days against 435,525 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.031%, Ambassador Mike Waltz sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,852 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 @USAmbUN have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 48% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,810 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 @USAmbUN post?
- Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.83 posts per day across the measured window.
