Confession: I still feel a little perturbed when asking any AI agent to critically examine something – especially if it is on the agent’s own platform. For example like the Grok Agent available on X.com.
Which x.com account scores highest in a rating for ‘engagement’.
And the answer from Mr Grok went as follows:
Based on recent analyses of X engagement metrics, particularly mean retweets per million followers and early retweet velocity, the account @NickJFuentes scores highest among compared high-follower profiles (outperforming figures like @elonmusk, @IanCarrollDC, @TheDestiny, and @hasanthehun). This is highlighted in a 2025 study noting his “off the charts” performance relative to follower count, though it raises questions about potential artificial amplification via bots or coordinated networks.
Now, we have all read the accusations about X.com being a haven for the Ultra-Right so you kknow what the next question was.
Where on the political spectrum would you place the @NickJFuentes, @elonmusk, @IanCarrollDC, @TheDestiny and @hasanthehun accounts:
Based on publicly available information about the individuals associated with these X accounts, here’s a placement of each on a standard left-right political spectrum. I’ll use a linear model for simplicity (far-left to far-right), drawing from their stated views, public statements, and third-party analyses. Note that political ideologies can be nuanced, evolve over time, and include elements like authoritarianism or libertarianism that aren’t captured in a 1D spectrum. Placements are informed by consistent patterns in their content, affiliations, and self-descriptions.@NickJFuentes
- @NickJFuentes (Nick Fuentes): Far-right. He’s a white nationalist and white supremacist who advocates for an extreme far-right shift in the Republican Party, often using antisemitic and racist rhetoric. His “America First” movement positions him as an alternative to mainstream conservatism.
- @elonmusk (Elon Musk): Center-right to right, with libertarian leanings. He has described himself as a moderate or centrist but has increasingly aligned with conservative positions, endorsing Donald Trump, backing Republican candidates, and criticizing progressive policies on issues like free speech and regulation. He supports some liberal ideas socially but is fiscally conservative and pro-capitalist.
- @IanCarrollDC (Ian Carroll): Right to far-right, with strong anti-establishment and conspiratorial elements. He’s known for promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories (e.g., involving Jewish influence, 9/11, and Epstein), aligning with figures like Candace Owens, and focusing on anti-Israel narratives. While not always explicitly labeled, his content often overlaps with alt-right themes.
- @TheDestiny (Steven Bonnell, aka Destiny): Center-left to left. He describes himself as a liberal or moderate liberal, having shifted from libertarian roots. His commentary supports mainstream Democratic positions, engages in debates against right-wing figures, and critiques both extremes, though he’s been accused of inflammatory rhetoric toward conservatives.
- @hasanthehun (Hasan Piker): Far-left. He identifies with socialism in the long term and social democracy in the short term, advocating for progressive policies like economic justice, LGBTQ+ rights, intersectional feminism, gun control, and pro-peace initiatives. He’s critical of mainstream Democrats from a leftist perspective and frames issues through an ideological lens.
So it is probably safe to say that the most engaged accounts on X.com are 60% Right to Far Right.
We Also Asked about @MyPE’s Engagement Numbers:
Overall, on a scale of 1-10 (where 10 represents top-tier accounts like major influencers with rates >0.1%), @MyPE scores a 2 — indicative of minimal interaction, possibly due to infrequent posting, limited audience reach, or content that doesn’t prompt shares/replies. For context, micro/mid-size accounts (under 50K followers) typically aim for 0.02-0.05% engagement rates, but this falls short.
What Elon and Alan ALMOST have in Common:
Where on the political spectrum would you place the @MyPE account?
Based on an analysis of the @MyPE account’s content (recent posts from October-November 2025), bio, and linked website (mynmb.co.za), which it frequently promotes, here’s a placement on a standard left-right political spectrum. I’ll use a linear model for simplicity (far-left to far-right), drawing from patterns in topics, opinions, and affiliations. Note that political ideologies can be nuanced, especially in a South African context where local issues often intersect with national party dynamics (e.g., ANC as center-left/social democratic, DA as center-right/liberal-conservative). The account appears non-partisan on the surface but shows consistent biases through criticism and sourcing.@MyPE (Gqeberha-based local news/community account): Center-right, with opposition-leaning tendencies. It focuses on local Nelson Mandela Bay issues like infrastructure (e.g., dam levels, government inefficiencies), crime, business, and community events, often with sarcastic or critical tones toward the current municipal leadership (e.g., ANC Mayor Babalwa Lobishe). Posts emphasize accountability, fiscal responsibility (e.g., collecting rates from informal structures for “Prosperity for All”), and skepticism of big tech/AI, while highlighting local pride and traditional values (e.g., questioning modern child-rearing via algorithms). The linked mynmb.co.za site amplifies this with critiques of government waste and failures, occasionally featuring DA statements, suggesting alignment with opposition views rather than the ruling ANC’s policies.
