Will Elon Musk's X App Fail Like WeChat?

🔥Elon Musk’s NEW Twitter... wants to be WeChat?! [Prediction] the ‘X app’ will FAIL👇 - Do you agree? R.I.P. Twitter bird 🐦 X Corp = its successor, Elon Musk's new tech company - which aims to create a Western copy of China's WeChat. "X is the future state of unlimited interactivity - centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking - creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities," - Twitter CEO. All this new "Everything app" is right now, is a logo on the old Twitter site - that looks like a forgotten Marvel villain. BUT in the future, X Corp hopes to fully follow WeChat’s "super-app" model, where you can do everything all in one place. I'm calling it now - it WON’T work!! 😬 Here's why: 1- Not needed in the West! The issue is demand - not innovation. We’ve seen others partially try it: Uber, Microsoft (albeit vertically – within their own niche). Unlike Latin America / Africa etc, in the US & Europe, there’s no audience for it. 💡 When WeChat was launched, China didn’t have many of the functionalities that it suddenly offered, e.g. Payment – going from cash to a mobile wallet. The West ALREADY offers those (e.g. Apple Pay) with *seamless* integration. Keep in mind: WeChat is less an ‘Everythig App’ and more so a Social OS. Even with WeChat, you still need to enter various features and mini-apps. WeChat was RIGHT time, RIGHT place... X is WRONG time, WRONG place 🤷‍♂️ 2- Convenience? Where? What Musk has proposed so far offers *minor* ROI or uplift in convenience. The equation for ‘convenience VS money needed for change’ just doesn’t quite balance out. Retailers would need to adjust their infrastructure for his new payment system (crypto?) 😳 + consumers would need to change their habits, top up a new wallet, etc! 3- No Trust... China didn’t have an internet ecosystem, so WeChat *created* that trust factor 🙏 In recent years, people have lost trust for Twitter, and largely thanks to Elon Musk. Bottom line? The ONLY way X can succeed is if it offers something *significantly* BETTER than the status quo. Would you use the X app? https://www.linkedin.com/..
