7.0

Pew Research Center reports that U.S. usage of X has declined to 21% in 2025 from 25% in 2021, after Elon Musk's October 2022 purchase. Over the same 2021–2025 period, Reddit rose to 26% from 19%, overtaking X. Despite rebranding and the introduction of AI bot Grok, X has not stemmed the usage decline.
