That's not true. Just being on X, reading tweets, is recorded activity that they use to set rates with advertisers. Having an account - and especially just the act of logging in - is giving money to Nazi Musk.
In general terms, if you never interact with an ad, or pay for X, then you are a net cost to the company. I stuck around for a while, but left because it became unusable. I wouldn't judge anyone for sticking around so long as they are not helping Musk financially

As a protest against politicians being in charge of election rules, the Longest Ballot folks are organizing to run 200 candidates in the by-election in which Poilievre will be running.
They recently ran 91 candidates in Poilievre's previous riding.
