    Keep in mind this is “X, the everything app”. Musk expects it to be your one stop on the internet for everything, including online banking.

      Anyone who wants the internet to be like this… It’s hard to describe adequately.

      The idea makes me as angry as I was when I was a kid and first heard about the destruction of the library of Alexandria. It is a deep dark rage.

        With proper open protocols for communication with various services such a ‘everything’ app could become a thing at some point.

        Where I live we already have a single app (owned for a large part by the govt) we can use to log in to most official services, and any decent-size service can apply to offer log in using it. Going from that concept it really isn’t too much of a stretch to an “everything app” becoming a thing.

          proper open protocols

          Yeah that will never, ever happen, especially if the app is successful. We would have to legally force them
