Data shows that usage and downloads for X have dropped after Elon Musk took the platform over a year ago.
  • Use of X on both iOS and Android is down by 17.8% compared to last year, according to SimilarWeb.
  • The latest usage report echoes previous third-party estimates.
  • Musk has big plans for X, rolling out new features and discussing new ideas at a recent all-hands meeting.

Just over a year ago, Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion. The past 12 months have been a bumpy ride for the platform, now called X, and a report on its usage stats show it trending in the wrong direction.
