You can thank the EU's stringent tech regulations for the new data.

Overview

  • X's EU monthly active user base fell by 11 million since the last report, dropping to 94.8 million, according to the Digital Services Act transparency report for April 2025.
  • France saw the largest decline, losing over 2.7 million users, followed by Poland, Germany, and Spain with significant losses as well.
  • This marks a continued downward trend since Musk's acquisition in 2022, when the platform had over 100 million EU users.
  • The EU's Digital Services Act mandates transparency on metrics like user counts, offering a rare look into X's internal data.
  • Elon Musk's claim of 600 million global users is questioned by analysts, given the platform's struggles in the EU and reported declines in U.S. and U.K. usage.
