Since taking the reins of Twitter in 2022, now rebranded as X, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has orchestrated a series of substantial transformations for the micro-blogging platform. Among these changes, including the recent name shift, Musk’s vision is to reshape the platform into a multifaceted super app. His latest revelation hints at X’s future capabilities, including audio and video calls and even a job search feature.
X’s Recent Achievement
CEO Linda Yaccarino, now at the helm of X, used the platform to applaud Formula 1 driver Max Verstappen for his extraordinary 10-race winning streak. Within her post, Yaccarino also disclosed a remarkable milestone – a remarkable 90% surge in video views on X since 2022. Elon Musk eagerly shared this post, emphasizing that “video viewership on X has roughly doubled since last year.”

Enhancements in Video and Media Uploading
Last month, Twitter, now X, introduced substantial updates regarding video and media uploads. X Blue subscribers can now upload up to 2 hours of content at 1080p quality or 3 hours at 720p quality. Paid users have the added privilege of enabling or disabling video downloads for their posts. The platform has also rolled out new features like adjustable playback speed, double-tap for fast-forwarding, and the ability to rewind within videos. Furthermore, mobile users can anticipate enhanced quality during live broadcasts, while Android and iOS users will enjoy an immersive video player experience.
Anticipating Audio and Video Calls
Elon Musk has recently unveiled X’s ambitious plans to incorporate audio and video calling functionalities. These features will be available across various devices, including Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. What’s intriguing is that users won’t require a phone number to access these capabilities. Musk described X as an “effective global address book” while introducing these developments.
As X continues its evolution under Elon Musk’s visionary leadership, it stands poised to redefine the boundaries of social media platforms, offering users a richer array of communication tools and content-sharing features.
