# Envisioning the Pitch Deck for X: The All-in-One App Concept
Written on
Chapter 1: Understanding X
When discussing Elon Musk's ventures, particularly X.com, one might wonder, "Is this Twitter or PayPal?" Let's clarify this as we explore Musk's vision. Assuming you're familiar with X.com as Twitter, we can delve deeper.
But hold on—are you certain it's just Twitter? If your response is affirmative, let's make it clear: Twitter has undergone a rebranding, but at its core, it remains Twitter. You still tweet and retweet; there’s no money transfer feature just yet.
While it may evolve into X in the future, for now, it retains its classic blue Twitter identity. So, let's take a moment to envision what X could represent if we were in Musk's shoes.
If I were to channel Musk, writing an article might seem trivial. Instead, I could tweet my enthusiasm for Dogecoin or engage in spirited discussions with my team.
However, back to reality. Utilizing Google Bard, I crafted a speculative pitch deck for a potential product that Musk might present. Here’s a look at that vision—feel free to share your thoughts!

Chapter 2: The Imagined Pitch Deck for X
The first video, "X's Pitch Deck (Imagined with Bard)," showcases the creative process behind envisioning the everything app. It dives into the core elements that define this ambitious project, highlighting its potential impact.
I began by asking Google Bard for assistance, but it wasn't as helpful as expected. For instance, it suggested, "X and PayPal are the two most successful tech companies." This felt overly broad and lacked substance.
After some fine-tuning, I drew inspiration from its suggestions and began drafting my ideas.
Section 2.1: Crafting the Cover Page
The cover page and elevator pitch slide were crucial. While I’m unsure if "FinSocial" is an established term, the goal was to encapsulate the vast scope of Musk's envisioned app.
Section 2.2: Addressing the Social Media Challenge
The landscape of social media is paradoxical. Platforms like Snapchat must monetize, often at the cost of user privacy. Without data, they can’t support their business model.
Elon seeks innovative solutions, as evidenced by Twitter Blue—a subscription model that could reduce reliance on advertisers. If he manages to attract a billion paid subscribers, he might not need advertisers at all, though that’s still a challenging goal.
Section 2.3: The Financial Integration
Originally, X was intended to be PayPal, but due to a split among the founders, that vision never materialized. Nonetheless, Elon believes that a super app must incorporate financial functionalities, allowing users to handle transactions seamlessly.
To illustrate this, we framed the payment process as cumbersome and overly competitive.
Section 2.4: Presenting X as the Everything App
We creatively portrayed X as a straightforward yet versatile platform.
One might argue that companies like Revolut are also pursuing the concept of a "super app," similar to WeChat in China, which integrates financial services and messaging.
Section 2.5: User Projections and Future Outlook
Finally, we concluded our pitch deck with a bold user projection of 2 billion users within five years. While this may seem ambitious, it’s not entirely out of reach—considering Facebook's user base of around 3 billion.
Elon’s journey with Twitter has sparked mixed reactions. Some are supportive, while others are critical of his leadership. Ultimately, the future of X depends on his performance and strategic decisions.
What do you think of this imagined pitch deck? Is the vision for X, the everything app, feasible, or does it feel more like a fantasy? Let’s spark a conversation in the comments—I promise it’ll be engaging!
