X leads in downloads on the AppStore thanks to Elon Musk
Social network conquers the top of the free and paid categories, while CEO faces virtual battle for internet freedom.
The social network X, formerly Twitter, reached a prominent position by leading in number of downloads on Apple’s AppStore, both in the free and paid categories. X is the most popular platform among iOS device users. This remarkable feat occurred amid rebranding and the implementation of new features, under the leadership of CEO Elon Musk.
Another highlight of X that did not go unnoticed was mainly Musk’s emphatic statements about the importance of freedom of expression. Amid a virtual battle against Brazilian Judiciary authorities, Musk has vehemently defended internet freedom, criticizing actions that, according to him, limit people’s ability to express themselves freely.
“The people want the truth”, declared Musk in reference to the success of the X in Brazil. He has emphasized that the platform is a space where users can share their opinions and ideas without fear of censorship or restriction.

We can say that X being the most downloaded app in the news category on the AppStore can be attributed not only to the public’s curiosity regarding the changes implemented, but also to Musk’s vision for the future of the social network. It introduced new features, such as being able to edit tweets after publication and expanding the character limit, making the platform more attractive and versatile for users, which contributed to its exponential growth.
Furthermore, Musk’s tireless defense of freedom of expression has attracted users, who have often had posts banned from other social networks, and who are looking for platforms where they can express themselves freely and exchange ideas without fear of reprisals.
Under the leadership of Elon Musk, X appears to be on the right path, offering a platform where freedom of expression is valued and protected.
