Elon Musk’s Twitter deal is smoke and mirrors for his REAL play: X, ‘the everything app’
In very convenient timing, Elon Musk’s US$44 billion ($38 billion) deal to buy social media site Twitter is back on, but what’s really caught Dr Mumbo’s eye is this ‘everything app’ the billionaire is touting.
Musk was set to front up in a Delaware courtroom two weeks from now, which makes the timing of the deal being back on look even more-so like it was his plan all along. Especially when you consider few legal onlookers gave him little chance of winning the case.
Buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app

Dr Mumbo wonders why Musk wanted to scrap the deal at all in the first place? Especially as his plan has clearly always been on creating this mystery app…
“Buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app”, he tweeted this morning, hours after his lawyers confirmed the deal was back on, at the full original price.
So what could this everything app be? What can it do? The opportunities are endless.
Musk is currently followed by more than 107 million users on the social media site, over a quarter of its total users. He uses his reach to deliver information like the below.
