Sure, that's fair. I'm interested in a deeper dive; I think there's a lot to be learned about and said about WeChat, and as a developer I am interested, myself. It seems like Facebook definitely wanted to be that sort of service at one point with Libra, and I wondered if Musk had his eyes on turning Twitter into a platform that was enriched in the same way.

Banning Trump exposed a lot of tension around politics, the state, private enterprise and FAANG which people don't want to discuss in the context of WeChat because.. whataboutism? I truly don't know. China is overt about state controls and we're kind of in denial. Important to remember US free speech laws don't actually apply to private spaces as much as the commons and if Twitter and Facebook are declared the commons in law.. a lot of things stem from that. And of course, by majority I suspect most twitter people are not US, although I may be wrong.
