> Which is the only valuable thing Twitter (X) has left. reply

They have a very valuable user base (all kinds of world leaders for example), so the data is not the only valuable thing they have.

That’s actually more valuable. Twitters data of small format text is awful for training. Best to just exclude it.

There are hundreds of millions of people on Twitter, and a few of them are very smart. I don’t see how that helps here though.

It doesn't help here. But the person your responding to is just pushing back against the "Elon destroyed Twitter and there's nothing left" narrative.
I don’t see difference here.

Userbase and their social networks and interactions is the data.

They don’t have much value from advertising point of view anymore.
