With any luck he will kill of twitter with his meddling.
He basically just wants to make WeChat but for westoids.
Even WeChat is scary. That shit should be state owned.
The politics of social media is already so dogshit that I can't imagine it getting much worse. But the monetization angle on the platform is still wide open for degradation. We're still a few degrees of awful away from the early internet endless-ad-spam era.
I fully endorse Musk turning Twitter into some shitty website from 1993 that opens twelve extra windows on your phone and beings auto-downloading 5 GB of ad videos as soon as you click the half-invisible (X) at the top of the pop-up ad that blocks your login screen.
An “everything app” would be a normal-ass operating system, emerald boy
Normal Silicon Valley 'initiative': re-invent something that already exists, but make it more expensive and shittier
a normal operating system is soooooooo 1990
everything has to be a dumbed down mobile-interface touch screen unoptimized piece of spyware shit
I don't care enough to look it up, but is there a Tesla Model X?
:deeper-sadness: Let me guess, that's the release order, too?
They already made an app called X, it's a windowing system, and it's perfect :penguin-dance:
Dude probably had the username xXSephiroth666Xx when AIM was a thing
:abe-simpson: it was the style at the time!
Good ol' Metallica chat..
I was never a huge Metallica fan, but it was the closest thing on the list that appealed to me. Even met a girl on there and we later dated/lived together for years.
the best part of this is he might kill Twitter by fucking with it, and how great would that be
Best possible outcome, although his subscription model will unfortunately mean that all the blue checkmark dweebs stay on there and become increasingly more divorced from reality as all the people bullying Matt Icy Glass rn leave the site.
Most people will stop using it once he starts charging DOGE for every tweet
oh 3 to 5 years huh? Thats so great, gonna put it on my calendar. Cant wait. The Everything App. God Save Us All.

Because if there is one thing Musk is known for it's always hitting deadlines.
It's really nuts to me how anyone listens to him, like it's so obvious that he never knows what he's talking about.
If it accelerates the creation of your amazing app why did you try to get out of it?
tell me you’ve never built an app without telling me you’ve never built an app
X will now be ready in just ∞ years instead of ∞+3to5 years. Pre-order today math nerds! :melon-musk:
This is also already literally Google's marketing language around Chromebooks. "The Everything Button".
Wow you mean one app that has purchases, chat, profiles, and even VR?! If only some kind of social media company had thought of that!
he likes to make libs angry so why doesn't he call his imaginary app the "Z" app? it's right there, what a dumbass
:dril:
buying twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app
So he's trying to make :reddit-logo: :the front page of the app store? Like does it mix my texting app with angry birds and my banking app with a splash of grinder?
How is the separation supposed to work?
my banking app with a splash of grinder
Hooking a banking app up to a dating app just gets you a sugarbaby / fuckboy app.
Well, the Dead just announced their last tour, so I need some cash.
