(Pocket-lint) – Elon Musk, owner and CEO of Twitter, says the number of signups for the social network has never been higher, despite lingering worries about its future.

Musk’s first action as owner of Twitter was to lay off about half of the company’s staff. That move has now left Twitter trying to hire, and it’s that fact that kicks off a deck of slides Musk recently shared with employees. He then shared it with all of us, showing a graph that says “new user signups have never been higher.”

This slide goes on to say that Twitter is currently averaging over two million new users per day over the past seven days. This figure would represent a 66% increase compared to the same week last year.

The slideshow has some other big numbers to share, including the fact that Twitter is currently averaging over eight billion active minutes per day, a 30% increase from the previous year.

Perhaps the most interesting statistic is the claim that “hate speech impressions are lower” than before Musk arrived. The proliferation of hate speech is a phenomenon that concerns many, given Musk’s stance on “free speech” and his willingness to allow high profile and previously banned offenders to return to Twitter.

Mr. Musk at least admits he got it wrong when launching the new Twitter Blue verified checkmarks. A slide shows that the number of impersonated people and businesses actually increased after the launch of Twitter Blue, but adds that it quickly declined. Probably because the subscription feature has been removed pending a redesign.
