Silent majority....of what, Axios? Twitter users? Article never says.

> 75% of people in the U.S. never tweet.

The above is also a link in the article, which if you follow it, it states

> roughly seven-in-ten Americans say they ever use any kind of social media site

How many people over 12 in the US actually even have a Twitter account? I doubt it's even 15%. According to the source the article linked to, about 70% use NO social media. I know twitter is popular with the HN crowd, but only 2 people I know actually use it and they only use it for business accounts. In my family, there are 7 younger people between 15-30. 0 use Twitter. They use instagram and snapchat mostly.

I think you misread. It says "ever use," not "never use." So 70% do use social media.
