Elon Musk Announces Plans to Transform X into 'Everything App'

Musk's vision for X includes removing likes and reposts, and adding payment features with pending licenses in New York and California.

  • Elon Musk, speaking at the Morgan Stanley technology, media, and telecom conference, revealed plans to evolve his social media platform X by potentially removing likes and reposts to reduce visual clutter.
  • X is on the verge of receiving money transmitter licenses in New York and California, a crucial step towards offering payment features to its users.
  • The transformation aims to make X an 'everything app' akin to China's WeChat, incorporating services beyond social media.
  • Licenses from populous states like New York and California are seen as pivotal due to their lengthy approval processes; X has already secured licenses in states including Pennsylvania and Utah.
  • Musk's acquisition of the platform, formerly known as Twitter, marks a significant shift towards integrating social and financial services.
