Elon Musk claims that X (formerly Twitter) now has 600 million monthly active users and 300 million daily active users. This is a significant increase from 550 million monthly and 250 million daily active users reported just two months ago. X had previously reported 500 million monthly users in March 2023, indicating a growth of 50 million users in a year, and another 50 million users in just eight weeks.
For daily active users, X had 250 million in November 2022, which remained stagnant until March 2023. The recent claim suggests an addition of 50 million daily actives. However, these figures are based on Musk's comments and not official data, raising questions about their accuracy.
X's ad revenue is reportedly down by 50% compared to pre-Elon levels. Increasing user numbers could attract advertisers back, despite Musk's controversial statements driving some away. If the growth rate of 25 million users per month is accurate, it could indicate a resurgence in X's popularity and validate Musk's direction for the platform. Nonetheless, the true accuracy of these numbers remains uncertain.
