I'll bet he STILL can't get laid without paying for it...
Nah, plenty of fanboys willing to blow him.
Wait, isn't X that app that evolved thorough multiple stages never reachig any just drowning in it's own puss? Free speech platform -> all round financial app -> dating app -> future bullshit this conman can spew?
Basically the same as Facebook.
Women @ uni -> social media -> chat -> video chat -> videos -> marketplace -> dating -> vr
Only thing being that FB has never touched financial stuff, afaik.
Not saying fb is good, just that this idea is hardly new or unique. What Elon wants has been done before by others.
Truth be told he hasn't got an original ideea since ... Ok I don't think he has got past that point yet.
Icm confident that until next year he will do it /s
Its only been a year?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
(tldr: 8 sentences skipped)
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.
(tldr: 4 sentences skipped)
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.
(tldr: 5 sentences skipped)
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."
(tldr: 1 sentences skipped)
Several employees submitted questions before the meeting regarding the company's financial state as advertisers and users continue to flee the platform.
(tldr: 7 sentences skipped)
The original article contains 701 words, the summary contains 205 words. Saved 71%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
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.
