While I share your sentiment completely, I have a bad feeling that this is the beginning of something bigger. AFAIK the Twitter purchase was Musk’s first venture into building an everything app, and he already owns x.com. I think this is one of the first steps.

I don't think we should worry about an app we will never use. :)

Let me think about potential competitors to such an app.... oh, the internet. Is he just trying to launch a new browser?

It just sounds like a banking app you can use to text with. Why would I want to use that?
