Tech billionaire Elon Musk reacted to a post claiming that X is now the number one news app on the App Store in India. His one-word reply has received varied reactions online. The post was originally shared by X user DogeDesigner. The user wrote, “BREAKING: X is now the #1 news app on the AppStore in India,” and also posted a video featuring the Indian flag. Musk re-posted it with a short comment. He simply wrote, “Cool.”
That brief response was enough to trigger a wide range of replies. While some users celebrated the platform’s rise in India, others used the moment to share their criticism.
One user wrote, “Mom said stop wasting time on X… now I tell her I’m watching the news.”
Another added, “X should be geo-blocked in India.”
“Wow! Elon Musk just replied ‘Cool’, it seems he is quite calm. X is really impressive to be the number one news app in the Indian App Store,” someone wrote.
A person commented, “India’s X app dominance signals the platform’s global ascent,” someone wrote.

The Tesla owner had first acquired X, which was then known as Twitter, in 2022. The $44 billion deal took the company private. After the takeover, he cut a large portion of the staff which led to a sharp drop in ad revenue and the exit of several big advertisers. But now many brands have started returning recently as Musk’s influence grows in the Trump administration.
The seven banks that extended $13 billion in loans to Musk to buy X kept the debt on their books for two years until they could sell it all at once in February, Reuters reported citing a source.
Musk leads the Department of Government Efficiency, also known as DOGE, in the Trump administration. This has also put him in the position to potentially influence agencies that oversee his business dealings.
