Elon Musk plans to add dating service to social media platform X

Elon Musk announced his intention to introduce a dating service into the social media platform X, which he owns. The announcement came during a video call with his employees this Thursday, as reported by US media.

The tech mogul envisions X not just as a platform for social networking, but as an “everything app,” providing a multitude of services including messaging, peer-to-peer payments, and now, online dating. Slated for a 2024 launch, the details of how this dating feature will function within X remain undisclosed.

Musk’s ambition is to see X evolve into a hub of digital activity, integrating features that go beyond the conventional boundaries of social media. Earlier in the year, he shared plans to incorporate audio and video calling capabilities and even proposed the platform could serve as a digital banking instrument.
