The $1 million grand prize went to Beaverd (@beaverd) for the long article titled “Deloitte, a $74 billion cancer that has spread across the United States,” which explores the role of large government consulting firms in federal and state IT systems. The article received 44.71 million views, 29,000 likes, and 7,700 shares.

The Kobeissi Letter won second place with a $500,000 prize for its economic analysis content, providing real-time insights into global tariffs and geopolitical trade changes, helping millions understand the reasons behind market fluctuations.

The Creator’s Choice Award of $250,000 was given to DAN KOE (@thedankoe) for his profound insights on personal development, helping people cultivate deep focus, clarify priorities, and build long-term advantages.

The X platform distributed over $2.5 million to top long-form content creators, marking a move to heavily reward high-quality long content creation rather than just fragmented short posts.
