Elon Musk-owned X, erstwhile Twitter, sees massive user exodus after takeover by the Tesla CEO

It is common knowledge that Donald Trump and Elon Musk were close to each other and both have together worked in tandem in order to win the US Presidential elections 2024. However, this is not just enough as Trump, in a 'rewarding sort of things', announced that Elon Musk would be heading the 'Department of Government Efficiency', an all-new federal wing under the White House that will be looking at cutting down federal government expenses and its way of tacking the multi-trillion dollar expense budget of the country.

Meanwhile, amid all this social media users on X are questioning Donald Trump and Elon Musk's partnership, and looking at the times ahead, a massive exodus is ongoing where users and brands like The Guardian and Don Lemon are busy announcing their departures from Musk-led X. alternative text-based social media apps like Bluesky and Instagram’s Threads are also being seen as viable options to shift to at the moment for X users, and account numbers at X is taking a hit looking at these factors. For the record, Bluesky is currently the no. 1 free app on Apple’s App Store, directly ahead of Threads in terms of usage, according to an NBC News report.

According to some social media users, using X during and after the election was a major pain, as it kept being an ardent Elon Musk-backer, and it was 'slowly becoming a place where they weren't really getting what they wanted out of it anymore.'
