What? Like Xiaomi? Ive never actually used a chinese android phone. Is it that bad?

I've never had one. Parents never could justify spending 100+ on a calculator.

Gamemaker is having a field day on Twitter with this.

Nothing really. Unreal could easily implement these changes. With Godot though, if they did there would be a huge backlash + exodus and new team would form to make something like Godot2 or some new name.

Can't believe this is actually a reality now.

For me its Android/Samsung. Samsung's bloat is a whole 'nother level from the usual carriers.

Damn. He looks a bit like Louis Rossmann.

Well simply put, he saw how successful WeChat was in China and believes that this success can be replicated in the States. Imagine. Having one app for banking, job applications, messaging your friends and following your favourite content creators? And then for those pesky other accounts you could have a password manager on X? Why even have another app? And although it isn't in the cards right now ideally he'll want integration with the government, as that's how WeChat can get all it's records for people (and I further guess he's banking on a Trump government to help him with that).

(yes I realize how horrible this sounds haha, just trying to illustrate how Musk sees this)

If he's going to make an 'American WeChat' then having this data is necessary. If you aren't familiar with WeChat it's a social media app from China that's basically the default application for banking, videos, posts, 2FA, etc. It's hugely popular in China. Of course, whether or not he should even be allowed to get this info or how viable making an American WeChat is, is a completely different story.

It just looks like some Lemmy users are falling for an obvious troll.
