- speedgoose 4y agoI think it's not his concern at the moment.
- chrisseaton 4y agoAre football fans really a big part of the Twitter user base?
- hfbff 4y agoFootball fans are a sizable group in pretty much in every social network
- partiallypro 4y agoFootball Twitter is pretty big, but I don't think it's big enough to cause a big dent.
- crooked-v 4y agoTwitter experiences massive usage surges every year during the World Cup.
- acomms 4y agoEvery month in fact!
- Beldin 4y agoWhich sport? Football's world cup is once every 4 years...
- chrisseaton 4y ago> every year during the World Cup Wat?
- rhino369 4y agoI don't know about soccer, but American sports news is hugely tied up with twitter. It's replaced the sports page of the news paper, ESPN, and even sports radio. I imagine it's the same for international football.
- spookie 4y agoI would guess so. As long as you are doing business outside North America, this is a fair concern to have.
- chrisseaton 4y agoAt least in the UK Twitter was mostly politicians, journalists, and tech.
- jacquesc 4y agoI can't actually imagine watching NFL without using Twitter during commercials (or after something crazy happens). It's actually quite spectacular World Cup is definitely going to surge traffic
- NaturalPhallacy 4y agoThe largest amount of traffic twitter has ever received was November 7th after his takeover.
- somehnguy 4y agoDo we have any real evidence of this or just what Elon tweets? Not sarcastic - I've just only seen his tweets saying that I don't believe the things he says.
