John Gruber posted analysis on Daring Fireball arguing that X has regained prominence under Elon Musk's ownership, driven by high-profile users like Apple CEO John Ternus and hundreds of other accounts that post only on X. He contrasts X's friendly tone and apolitical nature with the algorithmic issues and political arguments that dominate Bluesky and Mastodon.
