This week, it's been a bit of a rollercoaster at X, while Instagram, Meta and Pinterest have pulled some new tricks out of their hats. There's lots to explore. Ready to get the inside track? Let's roll! 🌐🔍

  • X's exciting evolution:

Hey, did you hear? X (the artist formerly known as Twitter) has fewer daily peeps visiting. X CEO Linda Yaccarino shared that the company currently has 225 million daily active users – a decline in tens of millions or 11.6 percent of users from just before Musk acquired the company. With a sprinkle of Musk magic, who knows where this roller coaster's headed? 😉 Catch the full scoop at Mashable.

  • X strikes gold in 2024?

🎩✨ If CEO Linda Yaccarino's predictions are right, X's money vault might just overflow by 2024. That's like going from zero to hero! However, according to the X CEO, X will be profitable by early 2024. That’s a big statement for a company that didn’t turn an annual profit in its first 13 years. Dive deeper into this epic tale on Tech Crunch.
