Elon Musk stated that Twitter has increased its daily active users by 1.6 million in the last week.
According to him, the previous week’s record was yet another all-time high for the microblogging site.
According to Musk’s weekly chart, average weekly users on the network increased by 1.6 million from 257.8 million in the week concluded November 13 to 259.4 million in the week ended November 20, 2022.
Twitter Collapse rumors
The rise in users coincides with rumors that users are abandoning Twitter as a result of Elon Musk’s unfavorable policies, which have been implemented since he acquired control of the company. These include the addition of $8 a month for the Blue Check and the restoration of accounts that Twitter had previously banned for disobeying its rules.
As some Twitter programmers left their positions last week, a number of hashtags, including “#RIPTwitter” and “#GoodByeTwitter,” were popular on the website. Users feared that after the engineers left, the company would soon fail. Musk asserted that individuals who are important to the company are staying, nevertheless.
Twitter Blue relaunch
In the meanwhile, Musk revealed Monday night that he had postponed the anticipated Twitter Blue relaunch.
The initial rollout of the subscription plan had failed because impersonators had quickly made verified accounts using the identities of well-known people who are not on Twitter.
Musk stated that the relaunch will wait until he is confident that impersonators can no longer benefit from the subscription service. He stated:
“Holding off the relaunch of Blue Verified until there is high confidence of stopping impersonation. Will probably use different colour checks for organizations than individuals.”
