Elon Musk Says Buying Twitter is a Speed‑Boost for His Grand App, X
On Tuesday, Oct 4, the tech mogul turned Twitter into a secret weapon for his future everything‑app vision. He called acquiring the platform an accelerant—think “fuel that lets your rocket take off faster.”
Why a $44 Billion Offer Matters
- Private ownership, public ambition: Musk is pushing $44 billion (about S$63 billion) to pull Twitter out of the public bubble and keep his plans under lock & key.
- Three to five years of turbo time: In a witty tweet, he joked that Twitter could shave off “three to five years” of development for his next big thing, though he’s not entirely sure.
What’s on the Horizon? (Or at least Musk’s Guess)
He kept his strategy a shadowy secret, but one hint – if the company wanted to, it could start charging businesses and governments for premium services. That would turn Twitter from a free‑to‑use platform into a revenue‑generating engine.
Why Fans (and Critics) Are Watching
It’s all or nothing: If Musk delivers X, social media’s next wave could look like the future we all dreamed of. If it bumbles, we’ll still have that infamous pandemic‑era tweet titled “Twitter is a simple social media site.”
Stay tuned – the next chapter of the internet is about to get rewritten, and you’re part of the story!
