Elon Musk to Introduce Long-Form Video Streaming on Smart TVs through "X" Platform.
Billionaire entrepreneur
Elon Musk has stated that long-form video content will soon be accessible on smart TVs. This announcement comes following a report by Fortune magazine revealing that the social media platform "X," owned by Musk, plans to launch a television app for users next week.
"X" platform initially rolled out an early version of its video and voice calls feature to select users back in October, as Musk expressed his ambition to evolve the platform into a "super app," offering an array of services from messaging to peer-to-peer payments.
Musk's brief response on the "X" website to a user's question about the feasibility of streaming long-form videos from the platform directly on smart TVs confirms the plan with a "soon."
Previously, Fortune magazine speculated that the upcoming TV application might resemble the YouTube app provided by Google. The report included an unnamed source suggesting Musk's determination to go head-to-head with YouTube in the video streaming space.
