Three major events and one trend have made X platform increasingly a global information center in highly time sensitive fields such as politics, geopolitics, technology AI, and finance, and also one of the most influential social media platforms in the world (without exception). Three major events: the 24th US presidential election, the 25th tariff war, and the 26th Iran War (where Iran's Supreme Leader, President, Speaker, and Foreign Minister all use their X account to speak out); One trend is that AI companies and technology leaders are increasingly inclined to post updates, market, and engage in verbal battles on X. To elaborate: 1. The 2024 US presidential election: The voices of key political figures can themselves become significant events on the platform On July 13, 2024, Trump was assassinated, and this event quickly spread on the Internet. X is the main platform for communication and discussion. On July 21, 2024, Biden released his withdrawal letter through social media, with X being one of the main channels for release. On August 12, 2024, Trump and Musk conducted an interview directly at X Spaces. And the impact of these events on the X platform far exceeds the traffic brought by ordinary hotspots, including the progress of the election polls, the election situation, and the implementation of the election day. When the public discovers that major decisions may be made directly by the parties involved, journalists, political observers, and traders have the motivation to continuously monitor the relevant accounts. For news organizations, the necessity of staying on site has also increased. Key figures speak out here, and journalists and analysts will pay attention. Journalists and analysts continue to pay attention, making it easier for speakers to obtain dissemination outside the platform. This dissemination effect has been repeatedly verified, and other key figures are also more willing to join. For us ordinary investors, it is naturally the fastest channel to obtain relevant information. 2. The 2025 tariff war: Continuously monitoring policy news, starting to have very direct economic value At that time, Trump's statement was first released in Truth Social, but it was almost always the X platform that was used for rapid dissemination and discussion. X played a role in rapid gathering, broadcasting and interpretation of such events. The tariff war has strengthened another attribute of X: it has become an important place for market participants to jointly monitor policy changes and discuss explanations. For investors, the importance of news depends on whether it can change profits, inflation, interest rates, or risk appetite. If policies change during trading hours, the value of continuous monitoring will increase. 3. The Iran War in 2026: The warring parties directly enter the battle for global public opinion and market expectations This time, Iran's Supreme Leader began using the X account to speak out to the public, and the war increased the international attention of existing high-level accounts. The new Supreme Leader also quickly used an official account. A public statement may be read by diplomats, journalists, and investors simultaneously. Different audiences will judge whether it means a change in negotiation position, a change in shipping risk, or a need for reassessment of energy prices. So that everyone thinks that Iran's top leaders have learned Trump's routine of using social media to influence public opinion. 4. The trend of "AI companies and technology leaders increasingly inclined to post updates, market, and engage in verbal battles on X" has a more profound impact Huang Renxun has recently registered an X account, which has become a frequent occurrence. Zuckerberg has reactivated the X account after three years, and Apple's new CEO publicly posted on X for the first time on September 1st. LVMH's Bernard Arnault started using his personal X account in July this year in response to reports about his family and succession arrangements; David Ellison from the media industry first used X to release major company news on October 2nd. One characteristic of AI products is that publishers can provide demonstrations, links, or testing entrances simultaneously, and professional users can then ask questions. A spread may quickly move from "what the company announced" to "how it actually performs", "under what conditions it is effective", and "what are the differences compared to another company". For enterprises, this kind of instant feedback has both product value and marketing value. For users, the back and forth responses from the original author and professionals can sometimes be more informative than reading the published manuscript alone. Think about it, for an ordinary X account discussing news such as Grok bot and Nvidia, receiving likes, comments, and even shares from Lao Ma and Lao Huang is not only a huge exposure for ordinary people, but also a great sense of achievement. Of course, this trend is no longer limited to the AI field, the encryption field started earlier, and other industries are also increasing. This brings a relatively continuous supply of content to X, and there is a high degree of overlap between publishers, reviewers, product developers, and business decision-makers. 5. What is the logic behind this? 1) X's information content dissemination mechanism: publicly following and referencing posts, allowing content to cross existing circles X's public posts can spread along the following relationship. Retain the original author's content and identity in the repost; Quoting posts allows users to attach their own comments, forming a new entry point for dissemination. This structure is very suitable for cross circle dissemination of professional information. For example, suppose an engineer writes a chip technology analysis, AI researchers quote and supplement it, investors discuss its implications for the industry chain, and reporters then contact the parties involved to verify. The same raw material may undergo several interactions and enter multiple different circles. Every professional response provides an opportunity for the original information to reach a new audience. Debate also has this effect. When an influential person refutes another party, they may also introduce the other party's viewpoint to their followers. Therefore, public debates between companies sometimes increase the exposure of both parties simultaneously. 2) X has gathered a large number of people who will continue to spread information Political leaders, politicians, tech giants, business leaders, financial investment experts, industry veterans, and various types of bloggers emerging as they age have a need to speak out and are willing to spread valuable information. Of course, they also want their views to be seen by more people. Assuming a message is seen by 10000 people, including a large number of journalists, researchers, and industry opinion leaders, the subsequent dissemination may far exceed these 10000 direct contacts. An interesting scene emerged: These people will continue to discuss on their own articles, programs, emails, and other social media platforms. The ultimate audience may not have opened X, but still be exposed to the topics that enter public discussion from X. This will create the Matthew effect, where more and more political celebrities, technology and business leaders will consider X as their preferred platform for voice. 3) The exemplary role of the old horse cannot be ignored He himself continues to provide noteworthy topics for the platform, with Musk involved in technology, business operations, and political discussions, giving the platform a character who frequently creates and responds to news. This will motivate some users to continue following even if their interest in other content on the platform is limited. His replies and interactions can quickly bring new members into existing circles Musk's presence in multiple circles has also given an opportunity for a topic that originally belonged only to the tech industry to enter investment or political discussions. He strengthened the style of corporate leaders speaking directly, and for corporate leaders, the value includes not only exposure, but also quick exposure to peers, partners, and relevant audiences. 4) Of course, there are also changes in X's own mechanism Focus on relationships to provide stable entry points, and recommendation systems to provide additional diffusion. Especially after enabling AI algorithms, sorting will predict user behaviors such as likes, replies, reposts, shares, stays, and negative feedback, and then score them comprehensively. From this, it can be inferred that sudden changes, controversial technical judgments, and responses from important figures may all form sustained interactions and gain further dissemination. Another point is that text itself is a low-cost production and low-cost acquisition form of content. So when: 1) The first-hand source is here. The default public timeline for journalists, traders, researchers, politicians, regulators, and company spokespersons is still X. When the top leader, president, and chip CEO post themselves, the starting point of secondary dissemination is within the platform; 2) The friction between short texts, reference posts, reply strings, lists, and Spaces is much lower than that of long videos or closed source communities; Algorithms push highly controversial and timely content based on interaction, so the "first wave" of political, geopolitical, and market information often spreads here first, and is then transcribed by Reuters, Bloomberg, CNN, and others. The Community Notes and relaxed speech standards have also brought back political content that was previously restricted from streaming. This has led to X not yet being the largest social network, with a total user base of only over 1 billion and an estimated active user base of only 500 to 600 million, but X has become the place with the highest density of elite and real-time public discussions. Especially in the fields of politics, geopolitics, finance, and cutting-edge technology, the fastest public information often occurs first on X, and the platform's agenda influence far exceeds that of other platforms.
