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.
I’m not sure that I would put “everything” in Elon’s hands… Feels risky
I gave my everything to someone once, they said it wasn’t enough. Now I only keep it in my hands.
Elon is right to understand that the data of a successful everything app (which can only happen by monopoly) will give him vast power in tech. However, after failing to implement one aspect of it in an established market and after removing most talent from Twitter, how will anyone keep falling for his techno-Ponzi scheme?
Look how many people joined Threads? I guess still falling for his techno-Pozi scheme, plus there is no need for people to download an new app.
While I don’t disagree, keep in mind that every instagram user already has a threads profile, even without access. As far as I know I do have a threads account but I’m from europe and last time I checked I cannot access threads.
Yeah, uhh we had that in the 1990s and it sucked:
Why do one thing poorly when you can do a whole bunch of different things even worse.
Lol, dude can’t even run something like Twitter successfully, let alone an “everything” app. Not a chance in hell I would use it.
Wechat is so creepy. I mean you could just get caught in some misunderstanding of being labeled as a dissident and get cut off from basically all communications.
And even if you are just an innocent civilian, all it takes is one bad hack and now criminals have the data of 1 Billion people.
Well perhaps it is creepy but in China it is massively convenient. Nobody uses cash or credit cards except foreigners. Everyone connects socially through it. Yes the authoritarian government is collecting data, how that is creepier than our distributed techno-authoritarian data collection is an ideological mystification.

Because one of those will put you in jail and have you executed and the other one just tries to sell you stuff
