The closest comparison would be Facebook, or perhaps Apple's iOS (which isn't an app, obviously). But there is no equivalent to WeChat in the United States. The platform even features a selection of "mini programs," which are optional services that users can add to WeChat.Īs Musk explains, people "basically live on WeChat in China." It's an amazing example of the attention economy, which encourages apps and websites to retain viewership by offering several services (and squeezing out the competition). Shortly afterward, it added language translation, ride-sharing, and other services to its portfolio.
WeChat begin as a basic messaging and social media platform before expanding its reach into money transfer. The term "everything app" appears to be Musk's version of "super app," so we can look at WeChat as an example of X's future. However, during the early days of the Twitter acquisition, Elon Musk repeatedly discussed WeChat-a "super app" that enjoys an outrageous amount of popularity in China (where it's called Weixin).
