Much of what Musk says can seem outlandish. But his thinking about WeChat isn’t, though it is not especially novel. WeChat’s success has tantalized many a Silicon Valley mogul; Musk is only the latest.

“I first downloaded WeChat in 2013. I was studying at Harvard, and I met my then girlfriend—now wife—who told me about it,” Zhao recalls. “We started texting each other on that. Then I got my parents on it, and I realized, ‘Oh, my gosh, for the first time, we could actually communicate with family. And when I went to work in Beijing from 2016 to 2018, that was when I really got to know the system pretty well.
