After a user ‘DogeDesigner’ put out a post about X being the top news app on Apple’s AppStore in India, billionaire Elon Musk said the platform has indeed become number-one for news in India.
Musk had bought X (formerly Twitter) in October 2022, for $44 billion. “X is now the #1 news app on the AppStore in India,” DogeDesigner said in a post on Friday.
Sharing the post, Musk said, “X is now #1 for news in India!”
According to Statista.com, India has the third highest number of Twitter users by country with approximately 25 million plus users.
Following the announcement, Musk’s followers praised the platform. One user, Hitman Hub, said, “X has claimed the No.1 spot in Australia! Big love down under X is No. 1 in Germany! Feeling blessed to have reached the top here. X is now No. 1 in Brazil! Thank you for all the amazing energy, Brazil X takes the No. 1 spot in India! Incredible to see such love and support in India.”
Meanwhile, after the 2024 United States presidential election, which confirmed Donald Trump’s victory, social media platform X witnessed its largest user exodus since Elon Musk acquired it in 2022, with users migrating to alternatives like Bluesky.
