Renowned entrepreneur Elon Musk recently expressed his fascination with a fresh concept for a dating app on the social media platform, Twitter.
In response to a proposed design for a dating app called ‘Twinder,’ shared by Steven Mark Ryan, a user whom Musk follows on Twitter, the CEO of Tesla (TSLA) acknowledged the idea’s appeal by stating that this is an interesting concept, and perhaps there could be potential employment opportunities as well.
Ryan’s idea of Twinder
On Wednesday, Ryan introduced his brainchild, ‘Twinder,’ a Twitter-based dating application that he believed could revolutionize the dating scene by offering a superior alternative to traditional dating apps.
The Tweet read as follows:
“When Twitter dating app?
Might actually save humanity from extinction.
Not even joking.
Very low hanging fruit.
Besides…. the EVERYTHING App, right?
p.s. I could make an entire video on how this opt-in app would work and why it would be 10x better than conventional dating apps.
Twinder would be HUGE.”

Steven Mark Ryan did another Tweet:
“To the people loudly shrieking “NOOO!”—the operative term was “OPT-IN”.
If you do not CHOOSE to be part of Twitter dating by opting in, you are not part of Twitter dating and your experience using Twitter would not change.
I did not expect I would need to explain this.”
Elon Musk’s goal for super app X
Elon Musk is working towards his ambitious goal of turning Twitter into a comprehensive super app called “X.” Super apps, which offer a range of services all in one place, have gained popularity in Asian countries like China, where WeChat dominates the market.
Although super apps haven’t gained the same level of traction in the United States, Musk is determined to change that. His vision for the “X” app involves integrating various services, such as stock trading, cryptocurrency trading, and potentially even artificial intelligence capabilities.
By bringing together these diverse features within the “X” app, Musk aims to provide users with a multifunctional platform that surpasses the traditional boundaries of social media.
Challenges in realizing the goal
Elon Musk faces several significant challenges in realizing his ambitious goal of transforming Twitter into a comprehensive super app, including prevailing consumer habits in the United States, legal barriers, and concerns regarding security and trust associated with Musk and Twitter.
Although experts acknowledge the potential for a specialized super app to thrive in the US market, it remains uncertain whether Musk’s vision for Twitter can successfully navigate these obstacles and evolve into a truly comprehensive super app.
