The Tesla founder wrote, “If you’re a hardcore software engineer and want to build the everything app, please join us by sending your best work to [email protected].
We don’t care where you went to school or even whether you went to school or what “big name” company you worked at.
Just show us your code.”
As for the Everything app, Musk’s vision for X has started to take shape. The idea is to transform X into a single platform that integrates a variety of services like payments, messaging, e-commerce, and multimedia.
Think of this concept as China’s WeChat, a widely used app that combines social networking, shopping, and payments in one place. Musk sees this as a way to move beyond traditional social media and create something much larger a one-stop global marketplace for ideas, goods, and services.
Musk’s hiring practices reflect his focus on tangible skills, noting that he values what a candidate can deliver over the academic qualifications or pedigree of their past. This approach to hiring is not without controversy.
Supporters argue that this approach allows individuals from diverse, non-traditional backgrounds, who may not have had access to formal education, to demonstrate their capabilities. X is actively initiating its transformation in alignment with this vision.
Key developments for the platform include the introduction of X Money, a payment service, and X TV, a multimedia streaming service set to launch by 2025. Additionally, Musk’s AI chatbot Grok, which debuted in late 2024, is expected to undergo significant upgrades to enhance the user experience.
