At the time Elon Musk obtained a position in Donald Trump's government, many users left the X platform and instead joined "Bluesky", which was created by former Twitter founder Jack Dorsey. According to a report published by Sky News.

According to the official website of the “Blue Sky” platform, one million people joined the platform in just one day, and among those leaving were actress Jamie Lee Curtis, The Guardian newspaper, and even the Clifton Suspension Bridge account.

Adam Tinworth, a media expert and lecturer in digital journalism at City St. George University, said, “Elon Musk’s standing with Donald Trump in the American elections and his use of the platform to support Trump’s interests prompted many users to leave.” He added that this is not the only reason for the migration of the X platform, as users do not leave only for political reasons.

Jason Barnard, CEO of Kalicube, said, “The X platform has a long-term agreement with Google that allows the search engine to use X publications to help Google understand the world, but it seems that Google’s confidence is beginning to weaken.”

It is reported that Barnard spent 9 years collecting 3 billion different data points that Google uses to determine real information.

This is not the first time that X has lost users. After Musk began making changes to X (formerly Twitter), many members of the technology community left for the open source “Mastodon” platform.

On the other hand, competition with other platforms increased. TikTok captured the youth segment, “Threads” emerged from Meta to target creators, and finally “Discord,” the platform dedicated to gamers.

Tinworth said, “We began to see this type of fragmentation, where it was one platform, and now it has become societies divided in several places, and the negative results that may occur from this fragmentation are the formation of societies on purely ideological grounds, which may reach a situation in which the political divisions are greater.” Take root.” According to Sky News.

From this standpoint, one expert says, “It is not about who leaves X, it is about who stays.”

Dr. Stephen Buckley, who has spent years studying the impact of social media on politics, says, “The impact of X on elections or political opinions is significant, but it is indirect.” He adds that the X platform does not have a large audience compared to giant platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, but X users are influential in the political world and many other industries.
