He’s had an “everything app” obsession for years (to his modest credit, even before apps as such!), but I charitably put the odds at pulling such a thing off in the US at epsilon above zero. WeChat, LINE and the like developed under very specific regulatory and market conditions that don’t exist in the US, and trying to replicate their products without the gravitational pull that made them successful in the first place is a fool’s errand. “Twitter” could probably limp along indefinitely in a degraded state, but “X” is headed for the treetops at speed.
