How this counter works
X (Twitter) does not publish real-time concurrent data. X is private and publishes little. It has claimed about 600 million monthly and 250 million daily users. At about 30 minutes a day each, our estimate, roughly 5 million people are on X at any moment.
We then shape that daily average with a typical UTC hourly curve for X (Twitter), so the counter rises toward the evening peak and falls at night. Treat it as an estimate: X (Twitter) has not verified this number.
