Elon Musk has slammed The Guardian after an article said that social media users are fleeing his X site.<\/p>\n

The platform, formerly known as Twitter, was acquired by Musk in 2022. <\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

In the Guardian article, it was claimed that “research from Pew found that in the first few months after Musk\u2019s acquisition of Twitter, 60 per cent of US Twitter users took a break of a few weeks or more from the platform.”<\/p>\n

It added that “a quarter of those surveyed said they did not see themselves using the site at all within a year.”<\/p>\n

In response, to this, X user DogeDesigner said: “The Guardian is lying! There has been no decline in users since Elon Musk took over.<\/span><\/p>\n

“In fact, X is more popular than ever, experiencing an all-time high in usage The more X grows, the more frequent such attacks will happen as Traditional media is a direct competitor to X.”<\/p>\n

<\/span>Musk replied to the tweet claiming that: “The Guardian is down by 2\/3 since 2020.” Commentator Oli London responded saying: “Go woke = go broke. X is the only place to be for real news.”<\/p>\n

GB News has contacted The Guardian for a comment.<\/p>\n

The latest debate comes after the Australian government has taken the platform to court in an effort to force the removal of a video of a Sydney bishop being allegedly stabbed as he officiated a church service last week.<\/p>\n

Australia’s e-Safety Commissioner told X to remove footage of the stabbing, which police say was religiously-motivated and over which they have charged a 16-year-old boy with a terrorism offence.<\/p>\n

<\/span>After X challenged the order from the Australian court, the federal court told the platform to remove the footage temporarily. <\/p>\n

X has said it will fight the order and at another court hearing on Wednesday the company’s lawyer said the bishop who was attacked had supplied a statement that he wanted the footage kept online.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Home Affairs Minster Clare O’Neill said social media companies created “civil division, social unrest … and we’re not seeing a skerrick of responsibility taken.<\/p>\n

“Instead, we’re seeing megalomaniacs like Elon Musk <\/span>going to court to fight for the right to show alleged terrorist content on his platform.”<\/p>\n

X and Musk have said they complied with the temporary takedown order by blocking it for Australians, but that they would appeal it.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
