Summary
Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) is experiencing a sharp decline in users and value.
Post-election backlash, misinformation, and toxic content have accelerated user departures, with alternatives like Bluesky gaining traction.
While X saw a temporary spike in traffic on election day, its U.S. daily active users fell 8.4% in October.
Analysts project X will lose 7 million monthly users in the U.S. by 2025. Additionally, X’s brand value has plummeted from $5.7 billion to $673 million since Musk’s 2022 takeover, with revenue dropping 40% year-over-year.
X is worse than truth social.
If you’re still on it, I judge you for that. No matter your reason.
Eh, I’ll continue enjoying my yiff there. Once most of the artists & content creators I follow move to Bluesky I probably won’t have any reason to stick to Twitter though.
I’m quite enjoying the “Early Twitter” vibe on Bluesky these days! Lots of engagement and actual conversations with strangers.
Plus their Nuclear Block option is fantastic for keeping your experience free from toxic people and organizations.
Nothing would make me happier than watching Elon lose everything.
Let’s work together and make it happen for real. I’ve worked on some ideas on what we can do to stop Musk’s radical agenda: https://lemm.ee/post/49991492
Basically get people off of Twitter to cut off the propaganda machine and then boycott his products, get advertisers to stop advertising on Twitter and encourage the workers in his companies to strike/quit.
Bluesky is now generating more out going traffic than X.
Wait until it becomes the official government platform and every American is issued an account.
