Hey followers! Let’s dive into how a little feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump is shaking up social media charts.
Although the Elon Musk and Trump rivalry might not be good for their political allies, it’s certainly boosting X’s popularity. Recent data shows X skyrocketed in the U.S. App Store rankings, jumping from an average position of 68 over the past month to 23 on June 5. This surge is likely due to increased downloads and active engagement during the feud.
Meanwhile, Google Play in the U.S. also saw X climbing about 20 spots in the last week, and its active user count rose by 6%, with some hours seeing a 54% spike. This shows how internet drama can quickly turn into social media traffic.
Trump’s own social platform, Truth Social, also got a bump, with active users soaring more than 400% compared to the prior week. But despite the growth, X remains dominant, with significantly more users than Truth Social, which is at 14th place in the social networking category.
The feud definitely has the digital world talking, and it turns out that conflicts can have surprising benefits—or at least boost rankings and engagement for these platforms.
