☆ Elon Musk's X is hiring, and the Diet Coke-loving billionaire says soda machines will be a perk
  + stars: | 2023-09-08 | by ( Pete Syme | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Elon Musk replied to posts about it saying the company is getting soda machines. Daniel O'Shea, an X employee whose LinkedIn profile lists him as the director of engineering, shared a post that uses X Hiring. X Hiring appears to be part of Elon Musk's ambitions to turn the platform into an "everything app." But, perhaps allaying concerns over an exacting work environment, Musk is trying to tempt job seekers with soda machines. "We're getting some of those machines that make any kind of soda on demand," Musk added.

Under Musk, X has sought to expand its reach beyond social media, messaging and audio content into areas such as financial services and recruitment.

When I think of super apps, my mind goes toward pursuing users' wallets. And here's why industry experts remain unconvinced about Elon Musk's plans to turn Twitter into a super app.
