Elon Musk has dealt a blow to the “woke” Hollywood celebrities and advertisers who have left Twitter to protest the new management’s free speech agenda.
Musk released some new figures about usage on the social media platform that show Twitter is now more popular than ever.
“Woke” celebrities had hoped that leaving Twitter to protest Musk would cause a mass exodus of their fans from the platform.
However, it appears this plan has backfired as new users are flocking to Twitter and people are spending more time on the platform since Musk took over.
And the “woke” advertisers boycotting Musk’s social media company are now missing out on the boom in Twitter’s popularity.
Musk showed that the number of new users registered on Twitter is at the highest level in the history of the platform.
Twitter’s daily active minutes are also at an all-time high.
Meanwhile, the amount of “hate speech” on Twitter has decreased, despite complaints from the Left that allege the opposite.
According to slides Musk posted on his account: “As of November 16, registrations have averaged over two million per day over the past seven days, up 66% from the same week in 2021.
“The number of active minutes of users has reached an all-time high.
“Averaged nearly 8 billion active minutes per day over the past seven days as of November 15, up 30% from the same week last year.
“As of November 13, the number of displays of hate speech has decreased compared to October last year.”
