Elon Musk states that there was a “record usage of X during the US presidential debate”

Elon Musk said that his social media platform X saw record usage as US President Joe Biden and his challenger, former President Donald Trump, attended their first presidential debate on TV.

The company said the scale of the global conversation on X was staggering during the debate.

According to X, the minute-by-minute conversation, about the US presidential debate spiked by “19 times from the start of the broadcast to its peak 90 minutes in.”

X added, “We’ve tracked over 2 billion impressions with over 242 million video views and 2 million posts.”

President Biden said he “did well” at the debate with ex-President Trump and dismissed the likelihood of him stepping aside, as being demanded by some Democrats disappointed by his performance.

“I think we did well,” President Biden told a reporter. Many Democrats, however, were concerned President Biden may not be able to beat former President Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee.
