Elon Musk is rebranding his Twitter platform as 'X' and wants to create a super-app where users will do all their finances as well as their socialising.
PARIS, France–Elon Musk is rebranding his Twitter platform as "X" and wants to create a super-app where users will do all their finances as well as their socialising.
It is used by almost everyone in China and weaves together messaging, voice and video calling, social media, mobile payment, games, news, online booking and other services.- Is it anything like Twitter/X? - "It is not as critical to daily life, people don't pay using that platform. They use it primarily just for browsing threads."Back in the 2000s, before the age of the smartphone, China's internet sector was a place of fevered experimentation with very little regulation.
Musk has talked repeatedly about adding payments functions to Twitter and even suggested it could "become half of the global financial system".Tencent operated in a very different climate when it was forging its early success. It failed to take off and was merged into a company that ultimately became PayPal, both Musk and his "X" branding being shown the door.
