So, it seems Twitter has been going through an identity crisis lately—or should we say, X has been finding its groove in August. And I'll tell you, my dear readers, even the numbers on their bank accounts have altered. We pledge to keep it lighthearted and funny as we delve into X's revenue in its first month as X.
X spent their first whole month as X in August, and it appears that the shift had an impact on more than just their name. Our undercover sources tell us that X made $5.8 million in net sales from the App Store and Google Play in August. That's right, folks, the most they've ever earned in a month. They found a pot of gold at the end of Elon's tweets.

X Takes the Stage, and the Cash Register Rings:
X spent their first whole month as X in August, and it appears that the shift had an impact on more than just their name. Our undercover sources tell us that X made $5.8 million in net sales from the App Store and Google Play in August. That's right, folks, the most they've ever earned in a month. They found a pot of gold at the end of Elon's tweets.
From Zero to Hero - X's Revenue Transformation:
Given this enormous fortune, it's safe to assume that X's revenue has increased faster than a SpaceX rocket compared to the pre-Elon era. Compared to the good old days when there was only Twitter, the number is more than ten times higher.America Takes the Crown, and Japan Gets the Silver Medal:
While revenue growth spread its wings across both the App Store and Google Play in August, the real champ was the App Store, especially in the land of hamburgers and Hollywood. That's right, the good old US of A. And who bagged the silver medal in this revenue race? Japan, of course! Who wouldn't want to tweet their heart out while enjoying sushi?From Twitter Blue to Premium Subscribers: A Win-Win!
This increase in revenue didn't just happen; additional Premium subscribers—essentially the fancy way of saying "Twitter Blue" subscribers plus some—brought it about. It's comparable to switching from drinking champagne to blue raspberry Slurpees.Who's Cashing in on X's Subscriptions? Roll the drums, please.
Who is laughing all the way to the bank with these subscriptions to X? You might be wondering. So stop wondering since we have the inside information! To find out who is making the most money off X's subscribers, visit our top-secret link (actually, it's not so secret). Warning: It is not the Twitter account for the office cat.Paying Creators and the Beautiful Surprise:
Hold on to your tweets because X had a big surprise up its sleeve in August. Creators, yes, you heard that right. Those who used to be just regular Twitter users are now getting paid if they rack up more than 5 million post views in the last 90 days. It's like turning your tweets into dollar bills; the response has been spectacular.From Tweeters to Creators—It's a Brave New World:
Okay, I agree that referring to those who use Twitter as "creators" seems odd, but as longer tweets and videos gain popularity, it's becoming an accepted practice. Do you know what that means when fresh authors are drawn to X by these payouts? More creators provide more content, which produces more engagement. Like a social media equation, everyone benefits from it. Can you see where this is going? In 280 characters or fewer, we have the key to success!Twitter's Revenue Revolution:
We had a sneaking suspicion that this change would be significant when We first started monitoring Twitter's revenue, but now the question is "how fast" rather than "if." With a sense of humor and a ton of money, X is upending the social media landscape. So keep those tweets coming, creators, and let's see where this amusing and profitable adventure with X takes us next!H/T: Appfigures
