Twitter personality

Viral tweet author

A Twitter personality is someone known primarily for their presence on the social media platform Twitter (now X), rather than for achievements in traditional media or other fields.

The term often carries a slightly dismissive edge, suggesting someone whose fame is platform-dependent: He's just a Twitter personality, not a real journalist.

It can also describe the particular voice or persona someone cultivates online, distinct from how they present themselves elsewhere.
