English Tech Leaderboard
24 English-language tech accounts we actually follow every day — AI labs, founders and builders, chips and infrastructure, markets, and media. This is a curated board, not a scrape of all of X: it ranks by relevance to Deep Take Tech and by who is driving today’s tech conversation. Click any handle for the live count on X.
Today’s spotlight
NOV 6, 2026What moved the board todayJensen Huang summoned to Congress
Chairs of three House committees jointly wrote to NVIDIA’s CEO, asking him to attend a closed hearing. Regulation is no longer abstract — it is naming names. Watch @nvidia and @sama for the industry response.
US stocks crashed on AI fears
Nasdaq fell 5.52%, the Philadelphia Semiconductor index fell 12.25%, and the VIX jumped 69.7% to 28.18. The trigger: Democrats sweeping the midterms and re-pricing AI data-center regulation, plus worsening memory fundamentals.
Democrats seek a pause on frontier AI
Democrats are seeking to pause frontier AI development and ban artificial superintelligence, with penalties reported as up to 20 years. That is the policy story behind today’s sell-off — and the one to follow into next week.

How this board works
METHODOLOGYSources. X public profiles, the Deep Take Tech daily digest, and X榜单’s Global Board for yesterday’s hottest English posts. Follower tiers are approximate ranges, not live counts — click any handle for the current number on X. Two counts are sourced: @elonmusk ~240M (X榜单 Global Board, Nov 5) and @KobeissiLetter ~2.7M.
Daily update. The spotlight and the order change when the conversation changes — a hearing, a crash, a model release. Accounts are added or removed when they stop being relevant to AI, chips and markets.
