So the rebrand comes with X promising to be an app to replace everything?

X gonna give it to ya, X gonna deliver it to ya.

Well, it sure sounds like X is delivering users to Mastodon.

Plot twist, Elon is a Mastodon marketer

It sounds like he's trying to copy zombo.com (listen to the audio for at least 30 seconds to a minute - the animation is a little broken by now)

He wants something like WeChat that does everything.

He does know that Wechat is the everything app because of the authoritarian government, right...right?

I think he knows well how it works.
