Elon Musk is looking for an alternative to the word ‘follower’

To a user tweeting today on Twitter about whether we can find a better word for ‘follower’, Elon Musk’s “TRUE” upon replying alternative suggestions from users started to come.

Musk did not tweet about the subject later, but he did this at any time. too silly or too logical It’s not hard to guess that it might change in one direction. For now, we can only suffice with the suggestions that come under the tweet and maybe we can come up with some terms ourselves.

The dialogue between Twitter user and Elon Musk, who did not want the word ‘follower’, was as follows:

“I hate the term ‘follower’. something better Can’t we find it?”

“TRUE”

The word ‘follower’ is now one of the words that are always in our lives.

language users according to their needs and functionality the words that emerge continue to be continued with their cooperation. Sometimes alternatives may be produced for some words, but often they do not. Just like in the ‘selfie-selfie’ example.

The fact that the word “follower” in social media terminology is an inclusive term for all platforms makes it difficult to change in many ways. To explain with the simplest example, for the word follower to change, actions like ‘follow, unfollow’ even alternatives must be found and fit into the terminology.

It is not yet known in which direction the possibility of changing the word ‘follower’ will go.

Especially with the decisions he made on Twitter, Elon Musk, who is on the agenda almost every day, is likely to replace the word ‘follower’ with another term. We can’t say it’s impossible however, based on the examples we have encountered before, we can say that this situation can be changed in a rather absurd or very logical direction. Also, other platforms could follow Musk in this regard, even if it’s not unlikely. If you remember, that’s how it was in the paid blue tick event.

Musk’s Tweet and alternative suggestions under it are as follows:

“Friends”

“Wouldn’t it be funny if you could name your own accounts whatever you want?

“We at Roguee use the term ‘audience'”

“Disciples”

“Community members? Friends?”

“Suffice it to tell them what they really are; haters.”
