Elon Musk: WeChat-alike app needs to exist, built out of Twitter or from scratch

>Musk also said at the Miami event that he was open to the idea of Twitter transforming into something in the west akin to WeChat, the all-encompassing “superapp” in China that allows users to shop, text and post to social media all within one app.

>“Such an app would be really useful [in the west],” Musk said, adding that he was not sure whether Twitter should become this superapp, or whether it should be built from scratch. But he was certain about one thing: “This thing needs to exist.”
