In the United States, a loss of approximately 7 million monthly active users has been reported since the acquisition in 2022. In Europe, significant declines have also been recorded, with a reduction of 6 million monthly active users between August 2023 and August 2024.
Monthly active users: X reported having approximately 550 million monthly active users worldwide, although this figure has decreased in recent months. Daily active users: It is estimated that there are around 250 million daily active users on the platform. Since Elon Musk acquired the platform, there has been a downward trend in the number of users.
Thousands of users worldwide reported issues with X, formerly Twitter, including errors when posting, platform loading issues, and server connection problems. These issues were mainly located in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Mérida, as well as in other countries like El Salvador and the United States.
Since Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter in October 2022, significant cuts have been made to the workforce and services of the platform. The purchase was finalized for 44 billion dollars and meant that the social network ceased to be publicly traded. On Monday morning, a global outage of the social network X, formerly Twitter, was reported, with more than 30 minutes of service interruption. Official information from the company led by Elon Musk is expected.
"The purchase of Twitter was finalized for 44 billion dollars," said Elon Musk in October 2022, stating that the acquisition was "for the future of civilization." However, since then, decreases have been observed both in the performance of the social network and in the number of registered users. By early 2025, the social network X shows a notable decrease in its user figures.
