The reports of X’s downfall have been greatly exaggerated: New data obtained by TheWrap shows Elon Musk’s app has offset the users it has lost post-Election Day with a surge in new downloads.
X, in the two weeks since the election, has seen U.S. downloads increase 27% compared to the prior two week period, according to data from Sensor Tower, a market intelligence firm. And those new downloads have been critical for X.
The platform has seen a wave of disenchanted left-leaning users, celebrities, and media pundits ditch the app following the election, after Musk publicly backed Donald Trump — and spent more than $100 million to help his campaign.
