You just need to have your head out of the sand, but outside of that, you can look at all the users who have left the platform or became entirely inactive after Donald Trump was banned, then look at the surge of users the alternative Twitter platforms gained, and pretty much make a safe assumption they lost at least that. You can also take a look at Twitter's stock price in Jan 2021, where it was close to 77 dollars, and rising at the time, and compare it to the pre-Elon hype price of 39 dollars, with Goldman rating it as being closer to 30 dollars in true value.

I know the stock price is substantially lower than its peak 1+ yrs ago -- it's easy to find a graph of that -- but it's not obvious to me that this is the result of Twitter's politics rather than other factors.
