Three barriers exist for Musk to succeed with his “X” idea. The first is, people outside of Asia don’t like “super apps.”

Second, as I’ve detailed before, Musk is proving incompetent about media, both social and mainstream.

And third, Elon Musk is becoming too reviled a person to succeed with an app that works only if nearly everyone buys into it.

Musk seems to be embracing increasingly radical views — the kind one gets from trolls, shitposters and Russian disinformation agents on 4chan.
