#XSuperApp

X (formerly Twitter) of Elon Musk aims to transform into a so-called "super app," similar to China's WeChat, combining social media, payments, commerce, and communication into one platform.

📱 What is a Super App?

A Super App is one application that combines multiple functions, including:

• chat and calls (like WhatsApp/Telegram)

• payments and transfers (like Revolut/PayPal)

• online shopping

• social media (like Instagram/X)

• external services (e.g., food orders, transportation, etc.)

👉 The most well-known example is WeChat in China – essential for daily life.

3. "Freedom of speech + finance" – integration of payments with freedom of communication.

4. Global ambition – Musk compares X to a "digital state."
