Summary

X, formerly Twitter, faces its largest user exodus, fueled by Elon Musk’s controversial leadership and Donald Trump’s election victory.

Rivals like Bluesky and Threads are gaining traction, with Bluesky surpassing 16 million users.

Musk’s dual role as platform owner and head of Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency raises ethical concerns, particularly as X becomes a hub for alt-right content and political influence.

Speculation grows over a potential merger with Trump’s Truth Social, but tensions between Musk’s business interests and Trump’s policies could strain their relationship, shaping X’s uncertain future.

      I saw a YouTube video yesterday where the guy closed with “follow me on BlueSky” which I had never heard used in a mainstreamish video.
