This is not to promote Elon Musk and his X.  That is a whole other discussion.

Many politicians, activists, lawyers, and others who can make a difference use X, Facebook, and Instagram.  Most of our elected officials are using social media platforms including X, Facebook, and Instagram.  X is considered by some to be the most widely used social media platform utilized by elected officials.
