Twitter has made many changes over the past few months. Heck, in fact, it’s not even called Twitter anymore. The social network changed its name to X and even modified its logo. But many more changes came before that. Elon Musk implemented a lot of new features and alterations in the internal structure of the social network that sparked great controversies.
One of the most drastic changes to Twitter – we’ll refer to it as X from now on – was the arrival of Twitter Blue subscriptions, a service with a higher character limit, verification badge, text formatting, and more. Well, it seems that The introduction of all these new features has considerably increased the number of active users on X.
Bad publicity is good publicity: X is more popular than Twitter
From the official account of Linda Yaccarino Some very interesting data has recently been shared about traffic on the social network. Data that clearly reflects how since the acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk, the social network has exponentially increased its number of active users.
And not only that, but X is reaching historical records. X has reached a total of 245 million daily active users. In April 2022, when Elon was preparing an offer to acquire the social network, the number of daily active users was 229 million.
According to Linda Yaccarino, CEO of X, The number of monthly active users has reached an all-time high of 550 million.

Additionally, Linda Yaccarino also added that X had already paid almost $20 million to its community of content creators. There is no doubt that the social network has undergone many changes since Elon Musk took charge. To which it is notable to add that, at that time, Twitter was practically bankrupt.
Elon Musk, for his part, continues with his ambition to completely revolutionize X. Currently the social network is already preparing to incorporate a video game streaming systemand the CEO of X Corp. would have already carried out the first tests as he himself confirmed in X.
Tested the 𝕏 video game streamer system last night. It works!
Will try to complete a Tier 100 Nightmare dungeon tonight live on this platform.

It will be impossible to predict what the next changes will be made to the social network. What is certain is that the transformation it has undergone was necessary to maintain financial stability of the platform. The bird on the logo has faded, but Twitter is still flying.
