Millions of people have and will continue to leave X.

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 don’t know what Musk thinks of porn but I do know that one part of project 2025 is a ban on porn. Maybe Musk will get on that. I’d recommend trying to contact your favorite content creators and friends on Twitter and ask them to move to Bluesky.

        You can play an active role in helping your favorite creators move to Bluesky. Leave a comment on their posts and send DMs urging them to stop using Twitter. Urge other people to do likewise.
