11 Millionen Europäer:innen haben seit August '24 X/Twitter verlassen
Europeans are fleeing X en masse, according to a new report from Elon Musk’s social media platform.
The latest figures from X published this week — which it was required to release to comply with the European Union’s flagship tech rulebook, the Digital Services Act — show a sharp decline in the number of users in Europe.
Since August last year, the platform has lost 11 million European users, with the biggest exoduses reported in France (2.7 million), Poland (1.8 million) and Germany (1.3 million).
Today, the platform has about 95 million users in Europe, down from around 105 million last year, representing a 10.5 percent drop in six months. Lithuania and Luxembourg both lost a quarter of their users.
Musk’s electric vehicle company Tesla has also taken a hit in Europe in recent months, with sales falling by more than 50 percent across January and February this year.
