It would be interesting see if super apps can be made to work in the US but I'd ask the question: Why hasn't Facebook taken a serious crack at it? It doesn't seem like much of a stretch for their platform.

My experience with super apps is that they are information overload. We already have super apps that work and they are called Android and IOS.

Musk is making a huge mistake. He's going to squeeze people to free platforms and the ecosystem that remains will be hollow and degraded.

He should focus on consolidating digital currencies through a one-way sidechain that absorbs all other blockchain values. BTC, ETC, DOGE all go in, but only Twitter coin or fiat currency comes out.

Elon is making a classic blunder and leaning against previous experiences and achievements, but they won't tailor well to the future.

Whatever ecosystem that remains is already hollow and degraded. Have you ever tried reading the responses to Elon Musk's posts. They appear to be a bunch of simps and unoriginal bot spam using automation tools to be the first to post. Nothing about it is organic.

yep, it's already ruined. also him backtracking on the whole "comedy is now legal" thing is hilarious. what a whiny baby

"Pivot to video" is old hat, now it's time for "pivot to bank".
