Elon Musk has hinted at his plans to make Twitter into an “everything app,” but has so far only revealed a few details. Musk has said he will use Twitter as a model for his own app, which he has named “X.” The idea of an “everything app” is nothing new, as Musk has already created PayPal.
Twitter’s Vision for the Future
Musk has talked about making Twitter an “everything app” and has said that the company wants to allow “free speech” for everyone. Moreover, he has committed to removing bot accounts and spam. He also wants to make Twitter the world’s “digital town square.”
WeChat’s Ambitious Expansion
Musk is also pursuing a similar vision for WeChat. His plan for the service includes everything from payment services to games and shopping. The company already has several million users, and Musk has said he plans to “create a platform for everything” to attract more users.
The Rise of Super Apps
While the concept of a super app is nothing new, it’s the idea behind it that’s new. In China, WeChat is the original super app and is a popular social network. Its popularity is so great that Musk recently proposed buying the company to replicate it in the US. In April 2022, Musk became a majority shareholder in Twitter. However, he refused the offer to become a board member, instead saying that he would buy the entire platform. Twitter’s executives tried to stop Musk’s takeover, but Musk made a USD44 billion offer to get rid of it.
WeChat has 1.3 billion users. It is the most used mobile app worldwide. It’s an all-around platform that is incredibly useful for consumers. However, the app is not yet available outside of China. In China, it’s like Twitter, only better.
Besides becoming a super app, WeChat has many unique features. Its users can pay for things, post videos, and even do online shopping. Its popularity has even led Elon Musk to praise WeChat in a recent town hall with Twitter employees.
WeChat’s development has led to the creation of new business models. The app has the ability to track all kinds of data on its users. The company can also collect the real identity of its users. The company has a huge database of information on its users.
