    In X’s EU user base report consisting of data from February to July 2023, Musk’s social media platform had 112.2 million monthly active users in the EU. In the following six month period from August 2023 to January 2024, that number dropped to 111.4 million users.

    That’s a minuscule drop % wise

          How would that make him a non-billionare?

          He paid $44B for Twitter, even if it completely failed and he could realize no value from any of the assets. $44B is a small portion of his wealth.

      X’s most recent report, covering February to July 2024, showed that its user base in the EU fell once more to 105.9 million.

      And these are datapoints they release themselves, 3rd party data points hint at bigger losses.

        You only need to hop on for 30s or so to realize why people wouldn’t feel inclined to spend time there unless it to quickly bathe one’s self in fascism and misinformation.

        Sort of what America will feel like if Elon gets his scummy hands on political power.

      You are a MAU if you use the platform once a month by opening the app by mistake, and also if you doom scroll for 10 hours a day.

      You continue to be one if you go from one to the other. Musk has been cherry picking stats before, so what they release will be the nicest numbers they can find.

        Yep. I’m in MAU numbers because I logged in twice this month to run Sky Follower Bridge. After the API debacle my average usage went from hours a day to zero minutes per day.

        Even with the most favourable, most meaningless statistic he can pull he still can’t show growth or even staying in place.

        Here is the data they are forced to report to the EU:

        Logged In X Users 61.8M Logged Out Guests 49.6M Total 111.4M

        https://transparency.x.com/en/reports/amars-in-the-eu/amars-in-the-eu-aug-24

        “Logged out Guests” is everyone who gets linked to a thread, who was send an video on Twitter and so on. And also take a look at the definition of the logged in users:

        EU Active Recipients of the Service - Average between August 1st 2023 - January 31 2024

        So you do count as active EU user if you have logged in between August and January with an IP address from the EU. That should even include some tourists.

      I see you attended the same business school as Elon. Yeah, great observation: businesses hate growth, and want to see miniscule declines, it shows strength!!
