Is Elon Musk panicking over users leaving X erstwhile Twitter for Bluesky; here's what reports are saying

Tesla CEO Elon Musk's social media platform, X (formerly known as Twitter) is experiencing a significant user exodus as many users are migrating to alternatives like Bluesky and Meta's Threads, reported Futurism. Following the recent US Presidential elections, where Elon Musk's support for US President- elect Donald Trump became more pronounced, an estimated 1.8 million users deactivated their accounts which marked the largest departure since Elon Musk's acquisition in the year 2022.

According to Futurism, this mass exit has been fueled by dissatisfaction with the platform's environment, which many users describe as increasingly hostile due to rising hate speech, misinformation and politically charged content.

In response to these challenges, Elon Musk introduced a new feature allowing users to hide engagement metrics such as likes and shares, which some interpret as an attempt to mask the platform's declining activity, asserted Futurism. In spite of this striking move, key figures in Donald Trump's inner circle have not criticized Joe Biden's recent decision to allow Ukraine to use long-range missiles against Russia which is an indication that Donald Trump might be actually reconsidering his stance on foreign policy.

Bluesky has seen a dramatic increase in users while reportedly adding nearly 9 million since the US Presidential election and Threads, at the same time continues to attract a large audience as well, noted Futurism. As X struggles with user retention amidst these changes, numerous former users express hope for a healthier online community in their new platforms.
