    I didn't realize that when he talked about turning Twitter into "X, the everything app" Elon Musk was literally talking about changing the name of the site to X but that's what it sounds like here.

    • All the way back in the 90s he founded a company called X.com so he must still own that domain.yuekit
    • US WeChat incoming then.fadein11
    • “The everything app”...this gives me Wegrow vibes.dyspl
    • Tunnel wanking geniusPhanLo
    • I read it to mean that twitter is, for now, owned by 'x'.Nairn
    • He wants to copy WeChat's model in China, I guess.Nairn
    • lol, i'm fucking mug. SOrry, Fadein! loltwatNairn
    • Elon Musk has actually created a series of companies called X...yuekit
    • First X.com, an online bank. Then he tried unsuccessfully to get PayPal to change their name to X. Then he founded SpaceX.yuekit
    • Now it seems Twitter will also become X. There's also an AI company called X.ai.yuekit
    • I always assumed "X the everything app" was a placeholder name but turns out he just really likes this letter.yuekit
    • To much DMX for Elong

    • He's not copying WeChats model... he's being instructed to setup the non-china WeChat, so CCP can get all our data, as they do with TikTok.shapesalad
    • Why would Elon to do that for the CCP? They have the rare earths, smelting, and customer base he wants.shapesalad
    • Rare Earths aren't that rare.
      China undermined (sic) 'rare earth' processing a few years back, which fucked Western-facing producers. It's not a bottle-neck      Nairn
    • Elon Musk is definitely overly sycophantic to the CCP. Even Chinese people noticed this...

    • But I don't think the Chinese government really cares that much about getting your personal social media data. They probably already have it if they wanted it.yuekit
    • The focus lies not in obtaining our data, but rather in utilizing that data to transform our thoughts.stewart
    • Well they have an uphill climb to improve PRC's image among the rest of the world. Russia is far more effective at online propaganda...yuekit
    • I missed this one...Elon even named his kids X.
