Original Note:
This claim is misleading. Elon compares the week of Dec 27th with the week of Dec 20th. Social media traffic is low on public holidays. This ‘growth’ is likely a return to normal after a Christmas drop. https://www.christopherspenn.com/2017/11/do-people-use-social-media-during-the-holidays/ Also, Japan’s ’growth’ is likely a one off reaction to their earthquake https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxjkkz/x-kicked-off-2024-by-screwing-up-during-japans-earthquake-emergency
