You only need to hop on for 30s or so to realize why people wouldn't feel inclined to spend time there unless it to quickly bathe one's self in fascism and misinformation.

Sort of what America will feel like if Elon gets his scummy hands on political power.

It's even worse in social media, because most users that sign up stop using it at some point.

So the product can die pretty quick if they don't generate new users, especially when they alienate old ones.

You're assuming he gives a shit about how much profit it's making.

"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.
