Tesla: It shouldn’t come as a huge surprise that the most tweeted about topic from Musk is about electric vehicle leader Tesla.

Future/Sustainability: Potentially a surprising widely tweeted about topic by Musk are tweets around topics of the future of mankind and sustainability. This sector includes topics like energy, sustainability and artificial intelligence.
Finance/Cryptocurrency: Some readers may be surprised to see cryptocurrency rank this low among topics from Musk.
