Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of Twitter, has been throwing a lot of features at the social media site after spending a whopping $44bn for it last year. But despite hinting at producing “Twitter 2.0 The Everything App,” his latest idea seems very similar to WhatsApp, the popular instant messaging app from Twitter’s biggest social media competitor, Meta (the company behind Facebook).
As Reuters reports, Musk announced in a Tweet that “coming soon will be voice and video chat from your handle to anyone on this platform, so you can talk to people anywhere in the world without giving them your phone number.”
