Musk Says Buying Twitter Speeds Up Creating an 'Everything App'
(Bloomberg) -- Elon Musk said buying $Twitter (TWTR.US)$ would speed up the creation of something he called "X, the everything app," suggesting he has ambitions for adding services to the blogging tool he wants to take private.
(彭博社)--埃隆·马斯克表示购买$Twitter (TWTR.US)$将加快他所谓的“X，一切应用”的创建，这表明他有将服务添加到他想要私有化的博客工具中的雄心。
In his first public remarks since reviving the effort to buy Twitter for about $44 billion, Musk called the acquisition "an accelerant" to building a kind of multi-function app.
在重启以约440亿美元收购Twitter的努力后的首次公开讲话中，马斯克称这笔收购是打造一种多功能应用程序的“加速器”。
In the past, Musk has mused aloud about making Twitter more useful, indicating that he'd like it to be more like WeChat, a messaging service that's hugely popular in China, and TikTok, the Chinese-owned video-sharing service that's taken off across the US. He's drawn parallels to so-called super apps that are widely used in parts of Asia, letting people a single smartphone application for a broad range of services, from messaging and other communications to ordering food and summoning a car.
在过去，马斯克曾大声思考过让推特变得更有用，表示他希望推特更像在中国非常受欢迎的即时通讯服务微信和在美国流行起来的中国人拥有的视频分享服务TikTok。他将其与在亚洲部分地区广泛使用的所谓超级应用程序相提并论，即让人们只需使用一款智能手机应用程序就可以提供从短信和其他通信到点餐和叫车等多种服务。
The $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ chief executive officer did not explain what "X" was, but he said in a follow-up tweet that Twitter "probably accelerates X by 3 to 5 years"
这个$特斯拉 (TSLA.US)$该公司首席执行官没有解释“X”是什么，但他在随后的推文中表示，Twitter“可能会让X加速3到5年。”
