Elon is always obsessed with WeChat’s model. (For those who don’t know about WeChat, it is basically the name of the ‘Everything app’.)

Everything in one single point is pretty convenient but has led to a bunch of risks…

Leave a risk that you know in the comment.

    Only reason WeChat works is because it’s built up by the government as the only option to spy and control people. There’s literally no other objectively successful everything app and it’s not going to happen in the west unless we really let our guard down. The only thing that’s close to this in the west is Apple’s ecosystem and they basically got grandfathered in because they “make their own hardware” or whatever lobby bullshit is being thrown.

    Everything app has been attempted many times. Every time it ends up wors than the sum of all of it’s functionalities. We already have an everything app - it’s the web browser.
