Musk has expressed his intentions to turn X into an American version of China’s everything app - WeChat - according to the WP report.
“I think the fundamental thing that’s missing that would be incredibly useful is a single application that encompasses everything,” Musk told X employees in 2023, a year after taking over the company, according to a transcript obtained by the Verge. “… I actually mean someone’s entire financial life. If it involves money, it’ll be on our platform — money or securities or whatever. It’s not just, you know, send 20 bucks to my friend. I’m talking about, like, you won’t need a bank account.”
