The report said Musk sent Fong a direct message asking if she wanted to have his baby — despite never having met her in person. Fong confided in friends about the advance, and once Musk found out, he unfollowed her, and her X earnings reportedly nosedived. At the peak of Musk’s engagement with her posting, she apparently raked in $21,000 over a two-week stretch on his platform.

That's kind of messed up

Premium Xitter subscriptions and Elon artificially inflating your numbers.

Yeah it’s like YouTube views but imagine it only counted people who were paying for YouTube Premium.
