Until yesterday, Elon Musk didn’t follow any women on Twitter. Plenty of men, plenty of companies, but not a single woman. [This was originally pointed out by *Motherboard*](http://motherboard.vice.com/read/elon-musk-follows-zero-women-on-twitter?utm%5Fsource=mbtwitter), which prompted Musk—aka, the man trying to send the first humans to Mars—to make his 55th follow [Caity Weaver](https://twitter.com/caityweaver?ref=killscreen.com) of *GQ Magazine*. He now follows one woman on Twitter.

[*The Guardian* picked up the story by *Motherboard*](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/oct/04/twitter-women-gender-elon-musk-tim-cook?ref=killscreen.com) and ran with it, pursuing an examination of the tech leaders of the world to see how many women each of them followed on Twitter. Out of the accounts *The Guardian* looked at, the most women any of them followed was 39, and that was Satya Nadella, the Microsoft CEO, who follows 78 men out of 165 accounts total. A trend arises from the results: Tim Cook, Apple CEO, follows 20 men and four women; Sundar Pichai, Google CEO, follows 238 men and 21 women; Brian Chesky, Airbnb CEO, follows 58 men and 12 women; Bill Gates, Microsoft founder, follows 57 men and 12 women; Reed Hastings, Netflix CEO, follows 44 men and 10 women.

None of this really comes as a surprise given how the locus of tech companies, Silicon Valley, is [overwhelmingly a place for men](http://www.reuters.com/article/us-siliconvalley-women-idUSKBN0GK0CK20140820?ref=killscreen.com). And while you could pick at this examination of something as ostensibly insignificant as a person’s Twitter account, it’s telling that “the world reflected in their Twitter timelines is bizarrely similar to the bizarre societies they have created in their companies: very, very male,” as *The Guardian* put it.

Considering all this, it seems like a good idea to compile a list of women who, not only these tech leaders can follow, but for anyone interested in videogames to follow. We could all probably do with following more women in games, right? Here’s the list:
