🌍 Why Build a Super-App?

Musk’s vision: Elon Musk believes an integrated "everything app" can thrive outside of China, filling a gap in Western markets .
Built on PayPal legacy: Musk has a long history with online payments that dates back to X.com → PayPal, further motivating this direction
⚠️ Potential Challenges Ahead
Regulatory hurdles: Entering payments and investing brings heavy oversight—licensing, anti-money laundering, consumer protection
Competitive landscape: X will go head-to-head with major U.S. fintech and banks (Venmo, PayPal, Stripe, Zelle), plus existing social and messaging apps .
Cultural fit: Super-apps work well in Asia, but U.S. adoption may lag—customers already have separate apps for each function .
