Elon Musk's takeover of X (Twitter) leads to increased traffic

A new report reveals that traffic on X (formerly known as Twitter) has increased by 22% since Elon Musk took over the platform. The report from Advanced Television indicates that Twitter's downward trend reversed after the rebranding to X, accompanied by new features and changes in content moderation policies. Notably, X's posts per minute have increased, and searches for creating X accounts have surpassed those for deleting X accounts. Despite controversy and divided opinions, X is now more popular than it has been in the last 18 months.
