It’s a bank! It’s a dating app! It’s a video hosting service, a town square, a shopping mall, a floor wax AND a dessert topping! Why go anywhere else? Just stare at the middle of the big shiny X until it makes sense!
You’re telling me I can meet a potential partner, have video calls with them, get scammed out of money, and tweet about how sad I am, all from the same platform? Sign me up.
And it’s all run by the guy who can’t even handle running twitter when it’s just a social media website. But sure, yeah, if they throw more functions on top of 280 text character posts, with a fraction of the people that ran twitter, I’m sure it’ll be even easier to manage.
At least that helps us eliminate the brainwashed. I like to bring up the hard stuff on the first date: religion, politics, abortion, gun control. Their sexual organs aren’t worth the feeling I’ll have when I find out they’re trash in the brain.
Most conservatives I’ve met, in Alberta, Canada, have giant ball-sacks hanging off their trucks… Somehow I don’t think they are looking for women in the first place… Or they are lying to themselves.
Its amusing how they mistake biological truths (“the way the Lord made me”) for sins. The reality is is doesn’t matter if you’re straight or gay, you’re going to feel interesting things upon receipt of stimulation if you are of the male disposition…How many married men caught with their pants down and in full—err, receipt… ;)
Men outnumber women on every dating app. It’s really bad on religious and politically focused apps, but it’s also bad everywhere else. A typical guy will go through thousands of swipes per real match.
Musk did not get into details of how exactly X would become a dating app, if there was any user demand for such features, or what further product changes would be made to turn it into one, one of the people present said.
However, the idea is in line with Musk’s push for features that require payment, as most dating apps today are some form of subscription service.

Musk said during the meeting he expects X to be capable of functioning as a bank by next year, the person added, whether or not users want it to be.
(tldr: 2 sentences skipped)
For new users in New Zealand and the Philippines, a fee of $1 per year is now in place for the platform’s most basic feature or posting is part of the initiative toward payments and banking, the person added.

Insider previously reported on Musk’s push for live video at X and his aspirations to turn the platform into a video-centric “media channel.”

Several employees submitted questions before the meeting regarding the company’s financial state as advertisers and users continue to flee the platform.

if he somehow turned it into a legitimized escort service, that would be actually useful to society, other than that he would be the one running it so it would be corrupt af and detrimental to society.

“Do not taunt happy fun ball.”
Lol, he wants it to be wechat but forgets that everyone uses it because its a government sanctioned monopoly.
No one wants a dating/chat/payment/microbloging/uber app.
Link your ride data to your dating profile? What could go wrong you fucking donkey.
Well it’s no secret exactly that he’s kinda infatuated with China’s methods.
Don’t worry. Musk will single-handedly promise better data security than even the NSA or CIA has.
Of course as soon as the first dump of X user data hits the dark web his sole response will be:
💩
Right… data security…
No one should trust this man with any of their personal information, ever.

Did it also want to be a clown car?
If so, good job!
You’re telling me I can meet a potential partner, have video calls with them, get scammed out of money, and tweet about how sad I am, all from the same platform? Sign me up.
Yeah it’s called Facebook
You mean Facebook? Because Facebook already does all of those things.

Don’t forget about all the right-wing fascist propaganda

No no, you can pay xitter to be able to do all that.
Nope, somehow all of that potential abuse is still free.

next week maybe

I mean, it could be. Have the popcorn ready just in case!
Pretty sure the calling is a paid feature
“Hey, baby, Elon Musk says we should fuck.”
Didn’t Facebook try that for a while too?
Yeah, they pretty much cloned tinder. It wasn’t great.
Having to swipe left on family members would make it a little different and weird.
Meanwhile, Tinder wants to link to your FB account. 🤷

Wasn’t there a conservative dating app which no women wanted to be on?
Most conservatives I’ve met, in Alberta, Canada, have giant ball-sacks hanging off their trucks… Somehow I don’t think they are looking for women in the first place… Or they are lying to themselves.
PSA: if your truck didn’t come with balls, and you add balls to it, you’ve done gender affirming treatment.
I’m getting some rainbow truck nuts and a car bra for my truck. I like to keep folks guessing.

I like the tldr notes on how many sentences were skipped. It gives a lot more context to how the bot has reduced the total article length.

“X” as a dating app sounds like converting from a pornhub to an escort service.
if he somehow turned it into a legitimized escort service, that would be actually useful to society, other than that he would be the one running it so it would be corrupt af and detrimental to society.

Porn site when? They got the name down for it already. Just get on with it man.
There’s already plenty of porn on it.
God no, they want to breed
Is he throwing darts at a concept map??
No, he’s just copying Facebook.
No, he always wanted it to be wechat but misses the fact that its basically required for Chinese citizens to use.
it’s every app in existence!! That means it will be worth every other app x 10!!
