Elon is always obsessed with WeChat’s model. (For those who don’t know about WeChat, it is basically the name of the ‘Everything app’.)

Everything in one single point is pretty convenient but has led to a bunch of risks…

Leave a risk that you know in the comment.

    If an application has tracking and censorship software that is tied to a country’s government, then chances are I’m not gonna use that app, especially if China’s government is involved. This is why I hate WeChat.

    Besides, an “everything app” basically just defeats the purpose of having an app icon collection on your home screen. I like how colorful it looks, and I don’t want that to be taken away.

    We’re just getting further and further into dystopia at this point.

      Why even have an OS for the everything app? What if we made the app itself into an OS?

      Also: Does an everything app contain itself?

        I’d argue that Windows from Win98 - XP was trying to be an “everything app”

        This was highly unethical and didn’t work
