Elon Musk said he wants Twitter to become the WeChat of the western world in his first meeting with employees

During his first meeting with employees of the micro-blogging site, Musk compared his ambitions to that of China's most popular messaging app, "Wechat."

Musk said that he wants to buy the social media app because there is no equivalent outside of China. There's a chance to make that happen.

"You live in China because it's so helpful and useful to daily life." It would be a success if we achieved that or come close.

A "super app" is one that combines instant messaging, social media, and mobile payment into one platform. Privacy and security concerns, as well as censorship issues that run contrary to the billionaire's free speech ideals, have come under fire for the Chinese platform.

Jasmine Enberg, a principal analyst at Insider Intelligence, told the Associated Press that it would be a huge undertaking for Musk to transform the micro-messaging service into a super app. It's difficult to change consumer behavior, something that Meta discovered during its own ambitions.

The Chinese tech company ByteDance has a stake in TikTok, and the CEO of the company drew parallels between the two.

Musk said that the standard should be entertained and informed. You want to be aware of serious issues as well. In terms of serious issues, I think it can be a lot better if you use the social networking site.
