Can we make a meaningful comparison between the two, given that they're both private companies that could just be saying whatever they want people to hear? I mean, I have no doubt that Twitter is an order of magnitude greater in popularity, but there are so many factors at play here, especially given the number of bots and duplicate accounts in existence.

It's X, not Twitter. The good old Twitter has flown away into the blue sky.

Bots and duplicate accounts are certainly an issue, but that's also a concern for the platform operators who want to maximize advertising effectiveness. Fake numbers will never translate into real results.
