He’s said as much personally back at the beginning. Notably, WeChat enjoys a government monopoly in China. Musk was hoping that the critical mass of Twitter would let him achieve the he same here.

- rchaud 3y agoMany of Musk's plans for Twitter appear to been formulated after the fact. Twitter was first going to be a safe harbour for free speech. Then it was going to the launch site for De Santis' presidential campaign (ignoring the irony of championing politicians who can't sign censorious bills fast enough). Now it'll be a payment platform? People don't want to come to Twitter to spend money, it's reality TV for the internet -- nobody's paying for that. It would be like purchasing a sports team, and setting up a credit card signup booth at the stadium.
