X was reason for Musk to buy Twitter early this month, after first unilaterally halting the takeover. It involves a concept that we in the West don't really know: an app that makes a lot of other apps redundant. In China, WeChat has been around for years. Basically, it resembles WhatsApp, but in the superlative sense. Not only do you chat there, you also arrange your banking and insurance affairs, book airline tickets and pay your bills. It has been a Silicon Valley dream for years to get something like this off the ground. Mark Zuckerberg, in particular, would love to put all those functionalities into one app. Although he owns Facebook and chat apps like Messenger and WhatsApp, he has not yet succeeded.
