Taboola, which advertises on thousands of websites and tracks views of news articles across its network of publishers, shared its analysis exclusively with Axios. And from January to mid-November, articles about Musk received 1.03 billion views, up 120% from 2023 and 528% from 2022, according to its research department.
More is also written about other CEOs, but their annual growth rates (for example, 85% for Bezos and 44% for Zuckerberg) are not even close to these indicators.
Musk has always been ahead of his closest “chasers”, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg, but in 2024 the gap has multiplied by many. Perhaps this is due to the billionaire’s activity in the political sphere.
He created a lot of content during the election race. For example, on the last day of the year, you changed the profile name on your X to Kekius Maximus. This is the name of cryptocurrency tokens with the image of Pepe the frog from the comic Boy’s Club (in the context of this news, the price of the Kekius Maximus cryptocurrency increased by 750.8%).
And now The New York Times has learned that immediately after the election, the businessman rented Trump the Banyan Cabin on the Mar-a-Lago property, allowing him to easily visit the president: for example, to the Trump dinner with Bezos.
