X's Performance on Mobile Platforms: Elon Musk’s X is experiencing a decline in new installs on Android, with a 44% drop year over year in July 2025, while Apple’s App Store saw a 15% increase in downloads.
Revenue Impact: The decrease in Android installs is affecting X's overall revenue, which fell to $16.9 million in July from $18.8 million in March, primarily due to reliance on advertising and competition from Grok's standalone app.
Android App Issues: Users have reported crashes and instability with the Android app, prompting Nikita Bier, X’s head of product, to focus on improving performance by forming an “Android Dream Team” for rebuilding the client.
SpaceX Developments: Despite setbacks with Starlink service outages, SpaceX plans to expand into Uzbekistan in 2026 and has announced that satellite internet services will begin in Kazakhstan on August 13, 2025.
