@jolyonOliver's take: predictions of X's death were delivered with a lot of confidence. Back in Nov 2022, WaPo ran a piece saying millions await platform's collapse once Elon took over Twitter. Fast forward to 2026, and X is setting usage records nearly every week. March 2026 alone saw 513 billion user-seconds in a single day, beating the prior high of 417B. The last official daily user figure before Elon? 238 million.

Elon Musk is the focus, smiling and carrying a toilet. He is wearing a black t-shirt and a necklace. The setting appears to be a modern building lobby with polished floors and large concrete pillars. Two other men are visible in the background walking through an open doorway.
