X App Surges to #1 Amidst Celebrity Scandal Sensation
In a whirlwind of events on the digital frontier, X has surged to the coveted number one spot among free apps on Apple’s App Store, riding high on the wave of a scandalous celebrity video. As reported by The Verge, the hashtag “drakevideo” has set social media ablaze, with users speculating over a video purportedly featuring rap icon Drake in a compromising position. This scandal comes hot on the heels of another involving fake explicit images of Taylor Swift flooding the platform.
Despite the controversies swirling around X, its popularity seems untouched. Elon Musk, the enigmatic owner, took to social media to revel in the app’s triumph, jesting, “If I had a dollar for every time the media reported that one of my companies was going to die, I would never need to raise money!”

In response to concerns, X spokesperson Joe Benarroch reaffirmed the company’s commitment to maintaining a safe environment, highlighting their “zero-tolerance policy” towards nonconsensual content. Benarroch assured that X has taken action on thousands of offending posts and remains vigilant in monitoring the situation.
However, questions persist about X’s content moderation, especially given Musk’s past decisions to scale down related teams. The Verge’s investigation uncovered several day-old posts featuring the alleged Drake video, casting doubt on the platform’s efficacy in policing its content.
As X basks in its newfound success amidst the storm of scandal, the story serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities at the intersection of technology, celebrity culture, and digital ethics. Whether X can sustain its momentum and navigate the turbulent waters ahead remains to be seen. But in the fast-paced world of social media, one thing is certain: where there’s scandal, there’s often opportunity, and X seems poised to ride the wave for as long as it can.
