Musks social network is losing users in EuropeThis data was published by the social network in accordance with the European Unions main technology law, the Digital Services Act.X currently has around 95 million users in Europe, down from around 105 million last year, a drop of 10.5 in six months.
The largest outflow was recorded in France 2.7 million, Poland 1.8 million and Germany 1.3 million.In particular, the social network lost a quarter of its users in Lithuania and Luxembourg.The publication recalled that Musk acquired X, then known as Twitter, in 2022.
Since then, he has made a number of changes to the social networks rules and encouraged farright political processes from the US to Europe, which has sparked criticism of the increase in disinformation and hate speech on the platform.
In addition, Elon Musk was one of Donald Trumps advisors in the first 100 days of his second presidential term, which could also have affected the platforms image among certain circles.
A number of highprofile users have already left the platform, including author Stephen King, the University of Leeds, and media outlets including the British newspaper The Guardian.
Even the city of Paris joined them in January.
