Can we back up a second? An "everything app" is not a well-defined thing. Projecting whatever fears you have about the threat to liberal democracy onto the blank slate of an "everything app" says much more about you as a writer than it does about the concept of an "everything app".

It's being taken as a given that WeChat is an "everything app" and that Elon Musk was using "everything app" in that (not universally accepted) context for the meaning of an "everything app".

The article makes some tolerably good points about concentration of power and that's totally fine, but putting it in this context just seems silly.

It does not cite Musk’s expressed desire for Twitter to emulate WeChat. https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/05/tech/everything-app-x-musk-ch...
