Elon is always obsessed with WeChat’s model. (For those who don’t know about WeChat, it is basically the name of the ‘Everything app’.)

Everything in one single point is pretty convenient but has led to a bunch of risks…

Leave a risk that you know in the comment.

    It seems like what he wants to add is mainly real-world identity and payments. The US already has an ‘everything app’ that has that and social media, shopping, classifieds and payments - facebook.

        So is Twitter. Adding payments and a bunch of other random shit to make it into facebook isn’t going to help.

            Facebook is awful, of course. I haven’t signed into my account since 2019 and now I can’t without sending them my driver’s license, which clearly will never happen. Just because I stopped using FB and IG doesn’t mean everyone did, however.
