X faces largest user loss since Musk's takeover as alternatives gain popularity

X, formerly known as Twitter, saw a significant drop in users following the recent U.S. election, marking the largest exodus since Elon Musk's acquisition in 2022. Many users are now turning to alternatives like Bluesky and Threads. Over 1 million people joined Bluesky in the past week, bringing its total to over 15 million. Threads also reported a rise in monthly active users, surpassing 275 million. Daily traffic to Bluesky exceeded that of Threads on November 6. X's new terms of service, allowing user posts to be used for AI training, may further drive users away. Some users are considering deleting their accounts, while others are exploring new platforms without fully abandoning X.
