X CEO Linda Yaccarino has contradicted Elon Musk’s statement on how many posts the platform is witnessing daily.

According to IANS, the number is around 500 million posts per day.

This contradicts what Musk said last month, saying that X users were generating a lot of content—creating 100 to 200 million posts every day, excluding reposts.

However, speaking at the “Khanference 2023” event in the US late on Wednesday, X CEO Yaccarino claimed X was seeing 500 million posts per day on the platform.

An X executive told TechCrunch that “500 million posts per day is accurate,” saying X also generates 100 billion impressions per day.

Yaccarino also said that people are spending 14 percent more time on X, with a 20 percent increase in consuming video.

“Gen Z is the largest and fastest-growing segment — almost 200 million every month,” she said during the event.

In a bid to retain users on its platform, X Corp (formerly Twitter) has paid nearly $20 million (more than Rs 166 crore) to creators so far, Yaccarino revealed last month.

According to her, the company will be profitable by early 2024, adding that the platform may now have 200-250 million daily active users.

In an attempt to turn X into an “everything app”, Musk is also testing video game streaming and live shopping features on the micro-blogging platform.

X Corp is also planning to roll out audio and video calls to premium, subscription-only users.
