Well very few people actually delete their accounts, most simply stop using it.
For example, I am technically part of the user base (since 2009) but I dont use it.

And that is my point, there will be a mass of keyboard warriors posting they will leave but in reality they will still use it and wait for the next subject they can rage about.

I know - can you imagine people posting on Social Media just to get a reaction?

Just to add i think you will see a lot of, "i am not using Twatter any more" but in reality nothing will change in the size of the user base
Correct, all those “I’m leaving Twitter if Musk buys it” martyrs, are all pretty much still on it. Principles eh.

Here's his latest nonsense plan.

Twitter owner Elon Musk has said he wants to get rid of the Twitter bird logo, and replace it with an "X".
Perhaps he should replace it with a headstone, with R.I.P. carved on it.

I was only using it to see what certain celebs were doing.It's no real loss to me.There is other social media after all.

Re: Elon Musk $44 Billion Twitter deal

Grade X, surely…

Quote:
You don’t understand, Elon launched SpaceX so he could go to MARS, now he’s changed the name of Twitter to X, if you combine TWITTER & X you get TWIX, Twix chocolate bars are made by MARS - this is all part of Elon’s business genius plan to sell Twitter to Mars for $100 billion!!
@MondayStory

Or as @RonDenBleyker put it

Quote:
I ain't typing "X" into the URL bar my wife is right behind me
