Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and X, is gearing up to launch a TV app similar to YouTube, tailored for Amazon and Samsung smart TVs. Musk hinted at the upcoming app in a tweet on X, captioned “Coming Soon.”
According to insider information from a source at X, the app’s interface is expected to closely resemble that of Google’s YouTube TV application, indicating Musk’s ambition to compete with YouTube in the streaming space.
YouTube currently holds the distinction of being the most-watched streaming platform as of 2023. Musk previously released a preliminary version of the app to a select group of users last October, featuring video and audio calling functionalities. This move aligns with Musk’s broader vision of transforming the app into a comprehensive “super app” encompassing messaging and online payment features.
With Musk’s track record of innovation and disruption, the launch of this TV app could introduce a new player in the streaming market and potentially reshape the landscape of digital entertainment.
