Musk announced Thursday that the new features will be available on iPhone and Android phones, as well as PCs and Apple’s Mac computers. You do not have to provide a telephone number. “X” is like a “global address book,” Musk wrote.
The expansion of “X” to include additional functions shows that Musk really does want to create an “app for everything”, as he has already announced several times. Universal apps are especially popular in China, where you can use “WeChat” to perform all kinds of tasks, including financial transactions.
Musk initially did not provide any information about how soon the function should be available and whether it would involve additional costs. Since Twitter’s acquisition in October 2022, the short messaging service’s advertising revenue has halved. Therefore Musk is placing more emphasis on subscription business.
