Twitter’s owner, Elon Musk, indicated that the purpose of the purchase was to ensure freedom of speech and speed up the development of a super-app where users can do almost anything online.
He moved further to change the app name from Twitter to X. The address x.com leads to the Twitter login page. The company’s official handle @X has replaced the old Twitter handle. The website has evolved from a platform for only short messages to include long videos, broadcasting, and live conversations. The new app will likely enable financial transactions, as hinted by Musk, as well as podcast, shopping, and subscription-based content. Future development of a super-app (like WeChat from China) could cover a large variety of services, such as video conferencing, video games, banking, location sharing, ride hailing, and food delivery. To achieve this kind of capabilities, however, X probably will need additional staff and a new cloud infrastructure.
