While most users seem to praise the growth, some users, including Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton, responded with skepticism about some areas that require Twitter CEO's attention.

Here are some top reactions to Musk's tweet:

Why It is Important: In January of this year, Travis Brown, a software developer in Berlin, stated that the Twitter Blue subscriber count hasn't doubled a month after its relaunch.

A report stated that about 180 K people in the US are paying for subscriptions, including Twitter Blue, as of mid-January 2023. This is less than 0.2% of the monthly active users on the platform.

In October 2022, Musk acquired Twitter and began the journey towards several controversial decisions, chaotic updates and tons of negative feedback.

Following Musk's takeover, bigwigs like Oreo cookie maker Mondelez International said that hate speech on the platform has increased significantly.
