not fakes (through I don't trust Musk to be non-deceptive) but there is a huge difference between "active user who wants to use it" and "active user who wants to not use it but due to network effects can't" It's kinda a similar situation like with Facebook (and just Facebook, not Meta in general). - they have some loyal groups (e.g. Facebook people broadly around 60 and older) - they lost any interest (and much goodwill) from many other groups - but due the various network effects many of the "lost interest" people still have it and might still count as active users depending on definition of active (but in practice they are passive not active users, unwilling to spend money on it, unwilling to give it any information about themself and not necessary the best ad targets either as there is a risk of you company being associated with "that annoying thing they would which to just discard". Just with the difference that with Twitter most of the "passive" users are still active because they haven't found an alternative to be active on YET
