It may not seem like it, but Threads has already surpassed Twitter: Bad times are coming for Elon Musk

Do you remember the day when Threads landed in Spain? A lot of people started writing on the Meta network saying that the Twitter replacement had finally arrived. And, the next day, the vast majority of us went back to using Elon Musk’s network as if nothing had happened, ready to be the band playing on the Titanic and watching our ship sink slowly. Well, it turns out it was an illusion, at least on a global scale.

X-Meh

According to the website Futurism, Threads currently has one million more active users than Twitter. In fact, the app is the third most downloaded in the free category on iOS, while Musk has to settle for being beyond the 40th position. And the blame lies with its CEO, who has turned what used to be a terrible but functional hole into a terrible hole infested with bots where, on top of that, there is a threat that new users will have to pay.

Twitter has decreased by 18% compared to last year and stands at 27 million daily users, while Threads has surpassed it since December until now, without decreasing for a single month: 28 million, which represents a 55% increase since December. In the end, people are looking for a new home after leaving Twitter, and here, after all, you keep your Instagram users, so for many it’s starting from something more than zero.

However, at least Twitter holds up with more monthly users, which means that there are more people paying attention to the social network, but for day-to-day use, Meta is resorted to. The response from the founder of Tesla to the negative data from X (as he would like it to be called) has been to announce an app for watching videos called X Videos. Please, don’t tell him anything, it will be even funnier.
