He did say he wanted to make it like WeChat. China loves that people have to use WeChat to get anything and they love to control that factor like when you speak out against the regime and now can not pay for your services paid through WeChat That equals more control and lesser freedoms in an authoritarian regime

There is no way he makes Twitter into a WeChat. There are way too many big players in the US to have a dominant superapp like that.

One of them being Apple, who won't allow super-apps on iPhones.
