70k viewers is impressive for a live stream, to be honest.

Musk/Trump had 1 billion according to Fox who quoted Musk (I'm sorry) https://www.foxnews.com/politics/musk-boasts-1-billion-views-no-limits-x-interview-trump

US population is 336 million. So, clearly views on X don't correlate to anything in real world politics.
2 clowns that made a career out of being a spectacle, did a stream on a platform owned by a clown with figures given by a circus quoted from a clown.

70k is respectable.
Maybe with more coverage (like the trump/musk stream had) it would be more
