Elon Musk announced Wednesday that an early version of video and audio calling is now available on X, formerly known as Twitter. The move is another step
The company has also not confirmed what tech veteran Chris Messina found in X’s code – that audio and video calls will only be available to subscribers.
X no longer responds to requests for comment after Musk’s takeover, only replying with an automated message to incoming press queries, so we couldn’t ask for more details as to why X is introducing this feature, and why now?
Sure, Musk hasn’t been shy about wanting to turn X into a platform similar to China’s WeChat – a messaging app that has become a central place for all digital transactions, be they shopping or news or communications.
In those days, Musk thought X.com could be a one-stop everything-store for all financial needs, including banking, digital purchases, checking, credit cards, investments and loans.
Now the company has expanded on those pillars, offering users the ability to charter a boat, return packages to the post office, and make dinner reservations.
How that might play out at X is that a user would come for the shitposting and live Spaces, but they might stay for the convenience of internet-enabled phone calls, the long-form posts and video, and the high-yield savings account.
