So Elon’s a “visionary” who wants to turn X into a single website where you can do everything — kinda like Yahoo!

He wants his new MySpaceX portal to be a website…

Where you can message people: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Messenger

Where you can stream audio: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast.com

Where you can stream videos: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Screen

Where you can create social media posts: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_360%C2%B0

Where you can manage your finances: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Finance

Where you can find a job: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_HotJobs

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this truly is a vision for the future — if by “the future” you mean 1997.

      You can do everything, unless one of those is a monopoly that you leverage for other products

        ahhh that makes sense. i was remembering microsoft getting broken up/fined and wondered how an “everything company” could possibly avoid that. turns out you have to have a monopoly to start with, which might have been an issue before he tanked twitter. so i guess genius move, 5d chess etc
