Bluesky, a decentralized social network backed by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, is seeing a surge in users as people leave rival platform X (formerly Twitter) following Donald Trump's election win. However, Bluesky experienced an outage on November 14 and 15, with thousands of users unable to access the platform. Although Bluesky has gained over 2.5 million users in the past week and surpassed 16 million lifetime users, it still lags behind X and Meta's Threads. Users are leaving X due to changes in terms of service and concerns about misinformation control and Elon Musk's support for Trump.

Bluesky, a decentralized social media platform, is gaining momentum and attracting millions of users, while its biggest rival, X, experiences a surge in deactivations. Initially started as a project under Twitter, Bluesky became an independent entity in 2021. It gained attention when X faced a ban in Brazil and experienced a mass exodus after Elon Musk's political leaning towards Donald Trump. Bluesky's user base has more than doubled to over 19 million, but it still has competition from Threads, which has a larger user base. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg plans to introduce a similar feature to Bluesky.

Elon Musk's association with Donald Trump's presidential campaign led to a surge in shares of his companies, with Tesla shares rising over 15% after Trump's victory speech. Trump praised Musk as a "genius" and hinted at assigning him a role in the "Department of Government Efficiency" to cut government spending. However, it is uncertain whether Trump's win will affect Musk's attempts to enter the Indian electric vehicle market, as his visit to the country has been delayed due to Tesla's other obligations. The future relies on Trump's stance towards China and whether Musk looks for alternative options such as India.
