Elon Musk, who bought and took over X (formerly known as Twitter) exactly one year ago, attended a meeting held at the company on its anniversary. According to Bloomberg, the famous entrepreneur also explained which platforms he wanted X’s services to compete with during the meeting.

Musk, in his statements YouTube and LinkedIn are X’s future rivals He stated that he sees this as a problem and that they will try to prevent these two practices. It is noteworthy that Meta does not see Threads, a microblogging platform that is very similar to X, as its rival.

Musk aims to get ahead of LinkedIn and YouTube by turning X into a super app

As it is known, Musk wants to turn X into an “everything application”, also known as a super application. The company has made many moves in the last year towards this goal. Rebranding as X, long videos and posts, job posting feature, voice and video calls are the best examples of this.

Billionaire businessman, who, as you can guess, is not yet a hit for everyone LinkedIn with job posting feature He wants to be a rival. On the other hand, we know that videos are now taking over social media. Both short and long format videos are now all over the internet. Likewise, X wants to stand out in this regard with its own video features. So it’s understandable that Musk is focusing on YouTube, which is very successful with its shorts and long videos.

It is noteworthy that Musk does not see Threads as a rival. He had a lot of arguments with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg when the platform was first released. We even saw that a cage fight between the two, which never took place, took over the agenda for a while. After the decrease in the number of users of Threads, he started not to talk much about it.

However, Threads has increased its popularity recently, signaling that it can be a real alternative to X. Dozens of missing features have been added to the application, including free post editing, voice messages, GIFs and polls, and trending topics. A few days ago, Mark Zuckerberg announced the number of monthly active users of Threads. approaching 100 million explained. So it wouldn’t be wise for Musk to completely ignore Threads.
