Elon Musk said he will livestream X Monday night, playing video games as part of his plan to turn his social media platform into “an app for everything.”
The technologist previously tried to create a live-streamed game last week but ran into technical problems. “I checked out the X video game live stream last night,” he posted on X on Monday.
“It works! “The SpaceX and Tesla executive added that he would “try to complete the 100-level nightmare” on X Live on Tuesday night. Since Mr. Musk bought Twitter, which he renamed as X in October 2022, and Twitch and YouTube.
Like China’s WeChat, the app could eventually incorporate other functions and services like making payments, booking taxis, or ordering food.
Mr Musk has already secured money-transmitting licenses in at least three US states and has a history of building online payment platforms after co-founding PayPal.
X chief executive Linda Yaccarino, who Mr Musk hired in June, laid out what this new version of the app might look like in a series of posts after joining the company is the future state of unlimited interactivity – centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities.
Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we’re just beginning to imagine,” she wrote. “For years, fans and critics alike have pushed Twitter to dream bigger, to innovate faster, and to fulfill our great potential.
X will do that and more. We’ve already seen X take shape over the past 8 months through our rapid feature launches, but we’re just getting started.”
Before Mr Musk took over, Twitter had a video streaming feature called Periscope that was shut down in March 2021 due to declining usage. Mr Musk briefly tested the dormant feature in May 2023, though users dubbed him “8-bit Elon” due to the low-quality resolution of the broadcast.
