In 2011, Elon Musk was asked about chinese company BYD. He started laughing. In 2025, BYD sold more electric cars worldwide than Tesla (cdn.imgchest.com)

tweets 2 hours a day

Edit: I want to clarify that I think 2 hours a major underestimate.

Here's the basic Google search 100% proving this is fact because his tweets are public and easily countable:

https://www.statswithsasa.com/2024/09/18/elon-musk-definitely-tweets-too-much/

it took fewer than 50 days for Elon Musk to post ~3,200 tweets

Elon is averaging 67.8 tweets/day, and there have been weekdays (read: workdays) where he has tweeted over 150 times in one day. 

Yes, that’s right. Using my method, I estimate that Elon spends ~2.7 hours per day on Twitter.... there have been workdays where Elon Musk has spent over 5 hours on Twitter in a single day. 

I even rounded that number down to make it easier to swallow. You want to say you're choking on doubt, when you clearly just forgot how to swallow truth.
