Elon Musk -Donald Trump tension worked to x – Cyprus Newspaper

The tension between billionaire Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump lost a positive picture for another company of Musk, although the electric car company lost $ 150 billion to Tesla.

The social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), which was uncomfortable with Musk-Trump rapprochement at the beginning of this year, won popularity among Apple and Android users in the United States on June 5th.

According to Sensor Tower data, the X application rose to 23rd place in the general ranking of the US App Store as of June 5th. It was 68th before. The average ranking in the last 6 months was 58.

A similar picture was seen on the Google Play side. X’s ranking here, according to the average of the last 7 days, approximately 20, compared to the average of the last 30 days rose 16 rows.

Users increased by 54 percent
According to Sensor Tower’s estimates, the number of active users of X in the US on June 5 increased by 6 percent. This increase is thought to be due to the fact that the conflict between Trump and Musk aroused great interest in social media.

Especially on the same day, the number of active users of X in the United States between 14.00-18.00 local time increased by 54 percent compared to the last 7 days.

Reflected to Truth Social

The tension was also reflected in the Truth Social platform owned by Trump. The fact that Trump’s statements about Musk shared his statements about Musk created a big leap in the application’s user traffic.

According to Sensor Tower data, the number of active users of Truth Social in the US has increased over 400 percent compared to the last 7 days. Nevertheless, Sensor Tower emphasizes that X still has about 100 times more mobile users than Truth Social in the USA. However, the number of users on both platforms reached the highest level of the last 90 days between 14.00-18.00 on June 5.
