The year 2023 has indeed been a controversial year for social media platform, X, formerly known as Twitter. 

This was since Elon Musk’s takeover in April 2022, influencing the platform’s journey with substantial changes, including a name alteration, the introduction and removal of features, among others. Despite these challenges, recent data highlights a surprising surge in X’s popularity, making it an interesting case study among online platforms.

The search trends surrounding X reveal insights into user behaviour. Following the official name change from Twitter to X in July, there has been a notable shift in search dynamics. According to reports, searches for the term ‘X’ increased by 19.4%, indicating a growing interest in the rebranded platform. 

This suggests that the bold move to redefine its identity successfully captured the curiosity of users seeking something novel and distinct. In contrast, searches for ‘Twitter’ fell by 26%, signalling a declining interest in the platform’s former identity and aligning with the broader aspect of users adapting to the changes brought about by Musk’s takeover.

Further exploration into user actions reveals a refined response to X’s evolution. Searches for ‘create X account’ surged by 142.86%, reflecting a significant influx of users eager to explore the platform under its new name. However, this surge is counterbalanced by a simultaneous 66% increase in searches for ‘delete X account,’ hinting at challenges and controversies that may be impacting user satisfaction and creating a divided user base.

Analysing the trajectory of website traffic provides additional layers to the X story. Initially, from April 2022, when Musk’s takeover was announced, to November 2022, when it was completed, site traffic experienced a dip of 7.86%. This decline was likely fueled by uncertainties surrounding the platform’s future and concerns about the potential impact of the ownership change. 

Contrary to expectations, the year following the takeover (November 2022 to November 2023) witnessed a turnaround, with site traffic surging by 22.3% and reaching its highest value since February 2022. This unexpected resurgence suggests a renewed interest in the platform, challenging preconceived notions about its resilience in the face of controversies. Both positive and negative publicity can highly affect user engagement as seen in X’s journey.
