Well, when you force users to login at least 1/month to keep their handle/account, you're 100% going to get an inorganic and non-truthful MAU metric, especially if you define that "A" to be <=20 seconds.
He also claimed hate speech was down, so I’m not sure he’s the most reliable source
I don't use Twitter/X but why wouldn't hate speech be down?
Maybe hate speech is down but it's definitely more visible. The main difference on Twitter for me is today the most visible people in any thread are, by virtue of paying for Twitter Blue, manchildren who idolize Elon. some of them are pretty bigoted
Any popular tweet is going to have their asinine takes on top, and for very popular tweets that's all you'll see.

Show me a non-cherry-picked example of highly visible hate speech on Twitter. Go ahead, I'm waiting.
I hope you are kidding. Tell you what, why don’t you show yourself and search for common racist language or homophobia?

This is demonstrably false, extremely biased reporting, and a cherry-picked source with a clear agenda. Hate speech is at an all time low.

Elon has stated repeatedly that X adheres to freedom of speech, not freedom of reach. Up until recently, X was a left-wing echo chamber. This is a classic example of MSM falsely reporting anything as non-moderate and non-left wing as "hate speech."
And this basically proves my point--you're not able to show, concretely, a non-cherry picked example of this purpoted "hate speech."

To be fair, X monthly users in 2022 were 0, so he's not lying...
Needless to say, bots are constantly registering, and rate limits forces lots of bots accounts to scrape or post, so users will always "reach new high" at any point in time. It's a bit like bragging a stock price chart is at an all time-right.
