[Global Times Technology Comprehensive Report] On December 2nd, according to Economic Times, in a conversation with Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, once again clearly stated that he wants to turn the social platform X into a "WeChat++" outside of China, making it have various functions such as information dissemination and financial payment.

This conversation took place on the podcast program "People by WTF," where Musk elaborated on his core goal of transforming X into a highly integrated "Superapp." He openly expressed his appreciation for the concept of a unified platform, where users can freely engage in various activities on this platform.

Musk used WeChat in China as an example: "WeChat in China is a model of such a unified platform. Users can exchange information, post information, and transfer money on it. In China, WeChat has been deeply integrated into people's lives and is almost indispensable. It demonstrates high practicality. However, there is no truly similar application like WeChat outside of China. Therefore, I think the idea of X is somewhat like an upgraded version of WeChat." (Qingshan)
