On August 4, Semafor reported, citing people familiar with the matter, that Elon Musk's company X (formerly Twitter) is looking for financial data giants to build a trading center within the app. The company has sent requests to large suppliers, seeking solutions to provide financial content, real-time stock data and other functions.
Elon Musk said he hopes X will become the first super app in the West, similar to China's WeChat, Indonesia's Gojek, Singapore's Grab and Africa's Gozem, which provide a range of consumer services in one app, such as food delivery, ride-hailing, payment, investment, and even identity verification.
