On the day following the election, X saw its biggest user exodus since Elon Musk bought the platform in 2022. Users have since swarmed other social media apps, such as Instagram’s Threads and BlueSky.

Users and outlets, such as ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon and the Guardian, were some of the biggest accounts to close. More than a million people joined BlueSky last week, increasing its base to more than 15 million users. Instagram Threads currently has 275 million users but is trailing behind BlueSky as one of the top two trending social media apps on Apple’s app store.
