You are a MAU if you use the platform once a month by opening the app by mistake, and also if you doom scroll for 10 hours a day.

You continue to be one if you go from one to the other. Musk has been cherry picking stats before, so what they release will be the nicest numbers they can find.

Yep. I’m in MAU numbers because I logged in twice this month to run Sky Follower Bridge. After the API debacle my average usage went from hours a day to zero minutes per day.

Even with the most favourable, most meaningless statistic he can pull he still can’t show growth or even staying in place.

Here is the data they are forced to report to the EU:

Logged In X Users 61.8M Logged Out Guests 49.6M Total 111.4M

"Logged out Guests" is everyone who gets linked to a thread, who was send an video on Twitter and so on. And also take a look at the definition of the logged in users:

EU Active Recipients of the Service - Average between August 1st 2023 - January 31 2024

So you do count as active EU user if you have logged in between August and January with an IP address from the EU. That should even include some tourists.
