Usage Of Elon Musk’s X Dropped 30% In The Last Year, Study Suggests
Musk and X CEO Linda Yaccarino have repeatedly said the platform’s usage has risen.
Looks like BlueSky and Threads are doing their damage.
Mastodon is pretty good too I hear :-)

Nobody did more damage to Twitter than Musk.
I thought the whole point of him buying it was to tank it before the ‘24 elections in the US.
The 'point' has been moving around because no one wants to believe that Musk just bought it on a drug filled hallucinogenic high with no plan.
It was bots, or to improve free speech, or to help Trump or... I dunno anymore. At this point it's clear that it's just Musk fanbois making excuses for why the emperor has no clothes.
Because you don't agree with them, they're a fan boy?
He's a billionaire who bought a platform to create a public space for right-wing political discourse so those ideas can get pushed into the mainstream. He bought it like every right-winger buys media, for influence. If he can push policies that favour his businesses, he can gain more back from his other businesses.
The fact you dislike him makes you want to think he's an idiot, because it feels nice and validating, but ultimately, there is motives behind his actions, even if he is an egotistical man-child living off the proceeds of hereditary wealth.
I'm betting the drop was significantly more, and Musk is fighting for dear life with a lot of bot accounts to simulate traffic, or else the little amount of ad buys dries up even more.
Article claims that this is a US Telephone Survey. So I don't think bots could have been included, unless some bot answered a phone and tricked the survey admins
