suddenly thinking about creating an “everything app”, and what does that even mean?
The concept of an everything app, often referred to as a “super app”, is massively popular in Asia and tech companies across the world have tried to replicate it.A super app, or what Musk refers to as an “everything app”, has been described as the Swiss army knife of mobile apps, offering a suite of services for users such as messaging, social networking, peer-to-peer payments and e-commerce shopping.
Grab, a leading super app across Southeast Asia, offers food delivery, ride-hailing, on-demand package delivery, and financial services and investing.During a question-and-answer session with Twitter employees in June, Musk noted there is no equivalent to a super app like WeChat outside of Asia. “You basically live on WeChat in China,” he said, adding he saw an opportunity to create such an app.
