Elon Musk-owned X (formerly Twitter) hit the number one slot among free apps on Apple’s App Store.
The hashtag “drakevideo” was trending as of Wednesday in the US, after a video that users speculated to be the rapper Drake half nude and engaged in a sexual act spread across the service.

X owner Elon Musk bragged about the app’s ascension to the top of the App Store list Wednesday, writing, “If I had a dollar for every time the media reported that one of my companies was going to die, I would never need to raise money!”
